I have to disagree. There’s nothing like column view for windows. The “address” bar in the windows file manager is very useful, though. I’ll give you that. But other than that, I find Finder better. Finder also has tabs (I don’t know if windows copied this, I haven’t used windows since windows 8).

What kind of column view are you wanting? I've been more or less happy with the columns offered by the "details" "icon size" option.

I don’t use windows, I mean the column view in Finder:

Browsing the full path of a file using columns is extremely useful (at least to me as a developer).

Finder has a quasi address bar via “go to”, although it's a bit hidden

Yeah, I use it quite a bit. But it’s ugly tbh.

Yes there is. Only it's called “Details” view (if I understood what you meant correctly.)

Press the [Alt] key to make Explorer’s menu appear, then View, then Details. IIRC. HTH!
