    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 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%.
