Well, OS X's Finder is steadily getting better. 10.0/10.1 was weak, 10.2 was an improvement, and 10.3 is pretty usable. It really pales in comparison to the software it replaced, though, and Panther's half-assed "spatial Finder" is a pretty weak imitation. (Hopefully Nautilus does a better job.)
Since switching to OS X, the spatial Finder is the only thing I've found myself missing from the Classic OS. Although OS X's Finder is sucking less and less with each revision, I still don't think it comes anywhere near the usability of the old Finder. (YMMV, of course. Old habits die hard.)
Nautilus seems to get it incredibly right, though. Although I've yet to use it for myself, Nautilus seems to immitate all the right things from the spatial Finder of old. (I haven't actually used Gnome since version 1.4, but I'm tempted to take another look.)
Kudos to the Gnome team, it's looking better and better with each release.

It does. How you can talk about NDP-run provincial governments and not mention Saskatchewan, however, is beyond me.
