    Many features in deed. Configurable interface (bright/dark mode etc.), similar to the original Windows Explorer. The only disadvantage for me is, that the opened tabs are gone at next boot. This only doesn't happen if you close and reopen the application it in the same session.

The only FOSS windows file explorer I've found that has a dropdown view option for the main view. (FileExplorer calls this "Content View")

It looks very native to Windows, and the themes are awesome. Tabbed browsing is a great feature, and for power users, there is a lot of tools like bulk renaming.
