I like many of the ideas in this app, but IMHO it does not yet look like a macOS app: eg. strange blue focus outlines to denote active state, which on my system are larger vertically than the button they contain but not horizontally which results in a very untidy display, some buttons are smaller than the required/recommended minimum size. Some other things I've noticed, compared to Finder: far less items in the same vertical space, different keyboard shortcuts for same feature makes migration difficult.

My favourite Finder-likes: Nimble Commander, Marta

I think it's arguable that following the guidelines post-Tahoe will lead to a worse UI.

After putting a lot of thought into this, I've ended up making my own dual pane file manager. Oops!
