I’ve been playing on and off for 40 years and I never noticed or cared a bit about nut width or saddle spacing until I FINALLY started learning to fingerpick a few months ago. Now I definitely notice and have a clear preference when I’m fingerpicking. The only things I noticed earlier in my playing years was action and string gauge (and sound, of course). With electric I’m much pickier about stuff like fretboard radius (nothing flatter than 9.5” on a Fender type neck, but 12” is fine on a Gibson type) and string spacing (narrower on Fender necks). But on acoustic, it’s a recent thing to even care...
