What is a spring-loaded folder?
https://techpp.com/2021/08/17/mac-spring-loaded-folders-guide/
I use that all the time but never knew it had a specific name.
This doesn't sound any easier than using Ctrl+X to cut files and Ctrl+V to paste them wherever you want to?
Depends on how you use your computer. Plenty of people would tell you that using a GUI file manager and cutting/moving files is inefficient on any platform as opposed to just using a terminal.
There are times where it’s nice to drag a file or group of files and have Finder show me the content of the destination folder before I decide to drop the files. But sure I could do that with 3 mouse clicks and 4 keyboard taps.
I think that terminal only or primarily terminal is valuable, a combination of mouse and keyboard with shortcuts is valuable, and also the ability to just use your mouse (especially helpful for accessibility) is also valuable, and they all should be supported.
