Great analogy, though. I posted about how macOS’ file picker behaves compared to Windows’ one; this analogy would’ve helped.

When I want to use the bog, I’ll use the bog. When I want to clean my bum, I’ll use a bidet. When I want to wish my hands, I’ll use a hand basin.

The way Windows does it feels like crapping in the bath tub, at least to me. Wrong tool for the job. “If all you have in a hammer” kind of deal.

On the other hand, I’m sure Windows users who defend the mini-Explorer think of it more like using one of those fancy Japanese toilets with a bidet and music player to hide the sound of your ablutions.
