Pros

GPLv3.

It supports the standard Send To menu which helps to install extentions which rely on the Windows API only.

Pro Column View Superior to Macintosh Finder
Direttore got it right. The other alternatives with a column view option ("miller columns") are unwieldy and ascetically offensive.
Pro Totally Themable
I can change colors, button,scrollbars. I also changed the icons for folders and some file-types. Info on Direttore webpage.

Ntfs drives only, but still very convenient.

Some context menu integrations work, others don't. git-bash and cmder don't seem to work, for example, but kdiff3 does.
