is this feat supposed to "exchange" your strength to dexterity in combat?

I mean if you have 18 in dexterity and the feat weapon finesse, would that be the same as haveing 18 in strength?

When I played a human fighter with high dexterity and weapon finesse, he dealt out maybe 2 or 4 damage in combat at level 3, while the cleric Linu often dealt out 14 damage.

so why would you wanna use your dexterity bonus instead of strength if you are a fighter?

is this feat only meant for classes that naturally "should" have high dexterity such as rogues or rangers?

can someone enlighten me?
