Well, in the past you've linked to John Siracusa's critiques when discussing your problems with the finder. One of his big criticisms (which has always seemed very silly to me) is that the finder is a bad analogy or a mixed metaphor, in that it is not consistently "spatial". Since the finder is getting an anti-facelift (mostly the same on the outside, revamped on the inside), I don't think that this "problem" will be addressed.
If your issues are with moving large numbers of files or putting trashed items back in their original places, then these have supposedly been fixed. I'll find out for myself in just a little bit.
From: "t.piwowar" <t...@tjpa.com> Reviewing Apple's tech notes I'm seeing many small changes and improvements that I think will make Mac users far happier than flashy new features. This may be the upgrade that finally fixes the Finder. "The Finder has been completely rewritten using the modern Cocoa framework in Mac OS X, taking advantage of the new technologies in Snow Leopard--including 64-bit support and Grand Central Dispatch. The familiar Finder interface is unchanged, but you will discover the Finder is faster and more responsive." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3737
