Cons
Con No move across Window function
Con No Vertical Scrollbar for Panels
When viewing a folder with a lot of items, instead of adding a vertical scrollbar with one list, it uses a mulit-column (within the panel) list and a horizontal scroll bar. This makes it much harder to work through a single list, as clicking on any of the multiple columns cause a focus shift on the scroll bar.
