Don't forget about its Free Software counterpart - Double Commander.
Cross-platform, feature packed, constantly updated, Lua-scriptable, supports TC plugins, written in Free Pascal.

I’ve totally fallen for Directory Opus. Most powerful file manager I’ve ever used, and I’ve only used a fraction of its features.

FanzyZones is absolutely essential if you're using large monitors.

I use FancyZones as well but I get annoyed that it doesn't seem to preserve custom layouts between reboots. I have to switch to my layouts manually after every reboot. Have you experienced it too? I am curious about whether it is something on my end or not.
It has a setting to remember. If it does not it means you have a problem with display detections

FancyZones seems to forget currently selected layout every time it is updated and every time a new Windows developer preview is installed. Other than that, it should be exactly as you left it.
How 'bout FancyWM?
Yes, when I see someone using Explorer instead of Total Commander, I feel sorry for them.
There's an enhanced TC called TC UP with additional utilities:
But Explorer is something I stopped using more than a decade ago when I encountered TotalCommander - that I cannot do without!!!
The regex-supporting live-preview batch-filenaming utility alone is awesome.
I work so much faster (with the keyboard) than will ever possible in Explorer!
I could write for hours about the greatness of TCM, but as that’s a little off topic here I won’t :-)
