    Ngl I didn't think I needed a Finder replacement until I tried SADFinder. Coming from Windows, Finder always felt a bit off no click-to-enter, backspace didn't go back, stuff like that. This just... fixes it. Tabs, a path bar you can type into, cutting and pasting files actually works like it should. Small things, but they're the ones that were bugging me the most.

    I've been looking for a nice file manager for ages, but everything I found looked too old and outdated. This one won the race, it's been a smooth ride for the few weeks I've been using it for.

I like how smooth it runs and how you can adjust the style of the Finder. Also the developer reacts to questions with solutions / updates very rapidly!
