@LilAng @valentina is having these issues. She's a Mac user and the Mac gives literally no obvious (even with a lot of digging) means of getting to files without dropping to the command line and using the "find" command. None. The Finder doesn't offer any means of navigating to the majority of her data! It's insane.

Mac is so hard to use, so convoluted, it's so extreme that it's hard to believe it's an oversight or accident. It's like many functions are designed to be as obtuse and difficult as possible. They actually have gone out of their way to keep basic tasks from being easy.

Not obvious? Not true. when you save a file, you can immediately click on an icon (forget what maybe down arrow?) to the right of the file name and you will see the full location.
Aside from that incorrect assessment, though, yes. It obfuscates everything to abstract the file layer layer that a user should not be caring about anyway.

You are assuming the application. I'm pretty sure that apps she is using don't ask. I'm sure some app does, but given that it is saving things to places that the Mac dialogues don't allow you to access, it can't be a standard Mac component doing the saving.

That is default Finder behavior. If the app is not using that, then it is a bad app. Not the OS.

Except anything using Finder is a bad app for using something so problematic. Finder is itself part of the problem.
