List view is bettah!
List view is bettah. List view is my bath companion.
Terminal
I use the terminal only when i need to navigate invisable files so i use both column view as well as teminal to
to view in column view. lol...

Terminal
If you install pine, you get the nifty file browser Pilot along with it, which is good for finding invisible files and such.
Terminal
Just use the "Go To Folder" menu item in the "Go" menu. (command-shift-g)
Quicksilver
I use Quicksilver. It's not really a Finder replacement app like Path Finder is, but it complements it so well that I hardly ever need to go to the Finder anymore. The browsing feature is similar to column view.
It ought to depend
...on what you're doing at the time. I chose "other", because I'm regularly switching between all three.
It ought to depend- ditto
Agreed. For example, when burrowing the hard drive, column view is best. When opening Applications, I like list view for the size, version, etc. columns. Folders of graphic images I have set to icon view, huge (128x128). I just wish the finder was more consistent with these settings. If I open the applications folder from the dock, it always remembers what I set it to (list). In this new finder window, if I click a graphics folder in the sidebar, it will open properly as (icon). If in this same finder window I click on my harddrive ( above the bar that separates the disks from the rest of the sidebar stuff), it will open properly in column view; however, now whatever I click on in the sidebar wants to open in column view, regardless of where I had it set. If you confine your clicking to the stuff below "the bar" in the sidebar, it will open as you set it.
Yikes!
Am I the only person here who HATES...in fact, DETESTS...the @#$! column view? Because I have some Panther-hostile software, I haven't updated to X.3 yet, but I've got more than enough reason to upgrade: in Panther, I can get the list view in dialogs, so that I can be rid of the column view ENTIRELY!
Yikes!
i detest it, too!!!
I want Columns .. always
I love column view .. handiest thing ever .. however you do need to activate the 'path' tool in the toolbar, just so you can check where you are. So I've two suggestions:
Replaced Finder with Terminal
I replaced Finder with Terminal, so after Login the Finder isn't starting up.
Column View Rules!!!
Ever since I have swithed over to the OS X platform I have always used the column view. I used to have to use the terminal to find hidden files, but ever since I started using TinkerTool, that has stopped. TinkerTool is a good way to see and manipulate normally hidden files.
