Folders. At least to the end-user. Under the hood it's Unix, so it wouldn't be wrong to call them directories either.
-
I feel like referring to folders as users would cause a lot of unnecessary confusion.
-
Lol. Brain fart. Fixed

Sure.

I digged a little deeper. MacOS lineage can be traced back to BSD and through that to UNIX. So I'm ashamed that my "ackchyually" wasn't pedantic enough.

It's literally UNIX®️, as in it's certified https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/

Ultra Storage Units or some ridiculous marketing name

I am pretty sure they mostly call them directories except in the GUI.
-
That's what I meant. The GUI is all that 95% of end users interact with.
-
On OSX I'd guess around 99.9% of users never leave the GUI. Command Line on mac feels like a swear word these days.
-
Considering how many Mac users are software developers (either who need to work cross-platform or who really wanted Linux but were forced by company policy to choose either Mac or Windowe and picked the more unixy one), I think the number using the terminal might be a lot higher than 0.1%.
-
0.1% is 1 in 1000, so I stand by what I said, the majority of users aren't coders

macOS is actual, certified UNIX. I think they use both for the end user though, in documentation
