The Finder doesn't even allow me to middle-click to open a folder in a new tab, it's horrible. I miss KDE Dolphin.

True that. Finder is only slightly better than nautilus, but it gets beaten up by Dolphin badly. It would win outright for me with the "Press F4 for an integrated shell" feature alone.
You can definitely do that in Finder by adding the Terminal.app as a Service.

Here’s a guide I found: https://www.howtogeek.com/210147/how-to-open-terminal-in-the...

They are referring to the shell being integrated into Finder similar to the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEs not launching a separate Terminal.app window.
Oh, I see. Apologies for misunderstanding, then.
I see what's wrong. I just don't have middle mouse button - problem solved.
You're probably joking sarcastically, but in case you aren't, you can click both sides of the track pad or three finger tap (if supported) to preform a middle click.
What do people use the middle click for?
FYI, you can open a folder as a new tab (or window) using cmd+click in Finder. Myself, I still struggle trying to ctrl-click folders open in Dolphin instead of middle click.
