Comments about ForkLift as a Alternative to Nimble Commander
pros, cons and recent comments
tux0r
Although Forklift is more powerful, the company behind it has sadly decided to let you pay for updates every year (de-facto subscription model). Nimble Commander is less feature-filled, but the developer does not do that.
