    Pros: doesnt need to index, fast, open source. Cons: doesn show indicator of how many files are selected, also doesnt sort properly as the folders and files are mix-shown no matter how clicking on the sort by name, also doesnt have rename button in the context menu when you right click on a file. These are very unfortunate cons as I really loved its fast and indexless work
