    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...

I can hardly believe that (finally!) there is a great file explorer alternative for those of us who have to stick with windows -- File Pilot is absolutely sleek and marvelous

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.
