I wholly agree with you on this one. Windows has its fair share of issues, but Windows Explorer feels like peak file browsing to me.

For MacOS I can recommend Forklift [0]. I've been using it for years and it is a bit closer to the Windows Explorer way of doing things. Does what it is meant to do. Affordable. No nags. Gets out of the way. Not perfect, but soooo much better than the horrific experience that is Finder.

How’s Forklift 4?

I have a paid Forklift 3, and it’s nagging me to upgrade and pay for next version.

I mostly went back to Finder for now, as I remember having some kind of issues with Forklift3 not being performant, though I don’t remember the details.

It seems fine to me. To be honest I don't recall what actually changed from v3.

That said I only work on local files and don't use any of the remote workflows. The most advanced feature I use is synchronising files between local storage and SD card. And that works fine.

One thing that did break in v4 is that search doesn't work anymore when using the text only toolbar. I reported that ~10 months ago but it's still broken. Maybe I'm the only person who was actually using it.
