Maybe I need to play with spotlight more. But at the mac based office office I used to work at, the issue I constantly ran into was
Scenario:
1. I have a file already open in a program.
2. I need to save it to a new location
3. For whatever reason I often already have the new location folder open
In windows:
4. double click the address bar, and copy the address location
5. go file>save as
6. past the address location in the "save as menu" address bar
7. done
In mac:
4. go to file> save as
5. click through the whole file system to get to the right folder (repeat a bunch of times)
.
.
.
10. done
