I just don't like the design of this, or any other explorer alternative for that matter. It always has some very outdated feel to it... combined with an extremely cluttered view. Like texts and icons and buttons and options that I would never need all over the place.

"Like texts and icons and buttons and options"

Oh the horror... :)

All of those toolbars and lister layouts are extremely customizable.

That's also another point. I don't want to have to customize a software before it's reasonably usable. I probably don't even know myself how I would like it to be. It's the UX designer's job to make it pretty, not the user's.

Can you get rid of all of them?

My preferred UI:

Location bar Sidebar (file tree) | File List

Would be nice if each feature you don't need could be removed from the purchase price. I think the version I want would end up having a negative price tag ;)
