By far the best file manager for MacOS is Marta [1]. It is the only app that is close to great old Far Manager, which sadly only works properly on Windows (it does have Linux and MacOS ports, but they are quite far from working smoothly on these platforms).

Am deeply chagrinned I didn't know about Marta. Thank you!

Seamless archive support FTW.

Also: Marta's config DSL syntax is the closest to The Correct Answer™ I've seen so far. Further confirming author Zhulanow's good taste and technical accumen. https://marta.sh/images/features/config.png

Downloading now. Thanks again.

I’ve never heard of Marta before, but I’m going to try it out. The clean DSL for configuration looks good, and I have to agree that GUI configuration interfaces can be very irksome. (I feel like throwing out my networking gear after using the GUI to set up VLANs—just give me access to the config file that is hidden somewhere.)

This looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. I guess it doesnt require any additional steps in terms of replacing Finder, just install and play?

Yes, pretty much.

I've been happily using Forklift for years. https://binarynights.com/

Path Finder is my current alternative. It has quirks, but is preferable to Finder.
