Yes, I was thinking the same.. For several years, I'm pretty happy with PathFinder by Cocoatech: https://cocoatech.io/

The things I miss the most when I accidentically open a Finder window: Cut files wit CMD+X to move them (never understood this when coming from Windows), cycle the files in a folder (start on top if you reach bottom and vice versa) and the comprehensive info bar on the right for files and folders. Give it a try :)

Instead of CMD + X you can do CMD + C and paste with CMD + Option + V

I used it for years and got so fed up with its pain points, including frequent crashes, a licensing system that never worked and nagged me despite legitimate purchase, and updates which reset and lost my preferences and sidebar organization. I’m now galaxy brained back to Finder again.

There's an app from Sindre Sorhus that adds CMD+X functionality to Finder.

”There is an app from Sindre Sorhus” is a complete sentence. :)

(Command-X is nice, even for a long time Mac user)
