FreeCommander is the best I have found so far. Very keyboard friendly and efficient. Low at memory footprint and no bloats at all. You can have it on USB sticks as well. If you haven't explored it then I would say get it and explore. Once you get used to its keyboard shortcuts then you will not use explorer any more :) I have used quite a lot of file managers and one time I was in hunt for the free and best.

I definitely wish Windows had the dual window pane for easier copying. Kind of ugly but cool. I definitely wish Windows had the dual window pane for easier copying.

It does not have panes but i can push a few buttons and have 2 windows side by side. I still use Tc but only in rare occasions. Explorer is free, has a low memory footprint (:))) and can give you some cool PDF and multimedia previews. Since Windows 7 i have actually switched back to Explorer (from Ulta-Explorer).

Has everything it should and is very customizable. I especially like when i make a new folder and it writes date in name by default. It is very useful for me because of my work. Off course it is dual paned and tabbed, supports archives, yadda yadda :) And the interface design is very pretty which is very important for me. I use nexus5 file manager… it is great really.

DOpus is just more trimmed to be used by mouse and not so much by keyboard while the Commander clones are optimized to be used be keyboard and thus are always more efficient (you can't beat the keyboard in 99% of the cases).. @Baxter
