Blazing fast, modern UI, but the the biggest cons: 1. It's free for beta, but $40 on release for a file explorer with only 1 year of update is too expensive while One Commander exists for free for personal use, is as good/better, and 95% as fast. There is pro version with all future updates, but it's $200, like seriously... Minor cons: 2. It does not support unicode for now, my non-alphabet text shows as ???? 3. Still uses the hated original W11 folder icon which covers half of the thumbnail...

Still uses the hated original W11 folder icon which covers half of the thumbnail image. It's a great file explorer alternative, but with that price tag I don't see myself ever using the release version just for personal use (I'm not a power user). It's just too expensive and ambitious. I don't mind paying for good software, just not with that price tag.
Amazing fileviewer, so fast and powerful, UI is so good and responsive.
