Besides an integrated terminal, Dolphin also has a split mode! https://i.imgur.com/4blIFer.png

How does a file manager made by four Dutch guys for free beat Explorer, the file manager of the 99.9% marketshare multi-billion-dollar hegemon OS (which only got a dark mode like yesterday)?

And tabs. And drag-dropping things by accident doesn't simply move/copy files but asks you what you want to do.

Well, Norton Commander[1] had a split view and an integrated terminal in 1984. Shipping a power-user file manager has simply never been a priority for Microsoft.

The integrated terminal behaves badly with zsh/oh-my-zsh (random memory being printed to screen, extra space on the prompt whenever you switch folders), and sometimes fails to track folders. Should I report these issues?

Of course! The answer to your question is always yes. This is very helpful to OSS developers.

Not too mention whatever passes for a file manager on osx (finder) that looks and acts like it was created by a thirteen year old boy as his first real program. And not even a boy that's going to go on to program for a living at that.
