If you want a Cocoa Finder, Pathfinder 4 is about to be released, has tabs as well!!
I would use Pathfinder all day long if it wasnt for the fact that its impossible to keep the Finder quit. Whenever you open an app in Pathfinder, the Finder opens and then it opens the app.
for those clamoring for a cocoa finder, won't the transition to intel practically REQUIRE apple to rewrite the finder in cocoa? i mean, they're not gonna let the finder run via rosetta, are they? and there's got to be so much legacy code in the finder that it will not be a quick checkbox-toggle-recompile to make it intel-compatible.

Perhaps you need to reread my post...

No.
In fact, Finder is running on Intel just fine, and has for years. In fact, you could see it run at the WWDC '05 keynote.

No.

Obviously, they already ported it.
