Not for me, I never see them :)

Not quite that much, due to the restrictions of the Linux file system hierarchy. Finder could be/is also used as an application manager. A nice, clean model, which could be understood by non-experts because it kept simple things simple.
I know, package management does a lot that the finder couldn't, but it was still very nice...
