That's fine, it's a very subjective choice. Here a few reasons why I preferred Dolphin:

- Tree view on main panel (can expand folders without navigating into them).

- Checksum validation under "properties".

- Filter function (like search, but faster and persistent across navigation).

- When dragging and dropping, explicit distinction between "move here", "copy here", "link here", and "move into new folder".

- Browsing SFTP drives natively.

- Native Git integration.

- Well integrated notifications for long operations.

- Disk usage statistics (technically "filelight"). Like WinDirStat, but with circles.

Also:

- Press F4 to bring up a console that stays in sync with your window. Extremely powerful.
