KDE stuff isn’t used on commercially-available products that need tech support

I'm sure there are organizations using Plasma desktop with IT departments supporting it, but I definitely take your point that Apple has orders of magnitude more spending on UI/UX and software development

I'm largely curious about Finder these days since I used macOS almost exclusively from the G4 days right up until about the time they switched to ARM, so it's been a few years. I'm curious if Apple has made any significant improvements to Finder in the past, say, four years?

Well, I stopped using macOS for about four years because the 2020 models were just... bad. I am back to using it now because my current employer provided me with a MacBook Pro to use, and I've gotten to enjoy the current version of Finder. I think the most notable change in recent years is the addition of tabbed finder windows, and just a ton of really small changes to make things a bit easier, like how they changed the way copying files works to be paused and resumed from the finder itself.

In macOS 15 I'm mostly happy that Microsoft's window tiling patent expired so we can finally tile windows natively in macOS without needing that bettersnaptool app.
