Said about Nimble Commander as an alternative
I prefer Nimble Commander because it has a classic mode and really nimble speed. CRAX I’ve been used to about 2 months a year ago. But listen it doesn’t have live filtering by typing and spotlight search. But there’s nothing compare a few hotkeys (by the way Nimble has 100+), XAttr edition, built-in terminal.
It’ not so easy how Nimble Commander.
Dedicated to be an professional dual panel file manager.

Being a power user who does most of the work on Windows, I've always been a huge fan of Total Commander. That is the most amazing tool and I was missing it sorely on Mac. I've tried 10 or 15 file management apps, but nothing came even close.
Until Files.app. It was one of the last I've tried and it surprised me. It's still pretty early in development, but already fully usable. Here's a list of features I've found unique about Files:
There are many more great things about this tool. If you're coming from Windows and searching for a good Commander -- give this one a try. It might just be the one for you!

For years I've been used to work with 5 different managers. Now I'm with Nimble Commander. Why? There are 5 reasons:
It's very nimble. I even say it's invisible for the system. You just do your work and don't switch different programmes.
It has 100+ hotkeys. Do you know other dual-pane managers with 100+ hotkeys?
There aren't a lot of useless buttons - only several you need for working.
I can rename a lot of files. Last time I renamed 63 files and during this process system work very well.
File search. It's flexible and powerful.
And 6. I know that I can go to the forum and say to developers what I need in Nimble Commander. And they'll do it. It's important, very important.
