I have two major irritations when using the finder:

1. You have two folders open and you want to transfer or
copy a file from one to the other. You click on the file
you want to move and then its window comes to the front
which totally obliterates your view of the destination folder.
Yuck! it would have been easier to use DOS or UNIX.

2. When using multifinder typically you have a lot of windows
open for whatever applications you're using. If you go to the
desktop these windows block out your view of the trashcan. It
feels pretty bad when you can't even remove files.
