Dired, the file manager that comes in Emacs, is 'completely unrelated' to a file manager named File Pilot?

Yes.

A file manager tied to Emacs is completely unrelated to a Windows-based file system app. You're trying to make your video relevant and it's not.

You do realise that Emacs runs in Windows?

You do realize that Windows already has a file explorer.

How stupid is it to have to argue with someone that "No, your ancient IDE's file explorer is not the same as Windows file exploerer and no one is going to download EMACS so that they can browse windows files easier"

I showed this to a bunch of friends none of whom use emacs and they're _really_ excited about it. Most of them aren't programmers.
