Pros
Pro Free
Free for non commercial use.
Pro Simple and fast
Fast search and filter.
Pro Miller columns
Like Finder from macOS.
Pro Multi tab support

Light, dark and customizable themes/colours.

Can make it the default file manager such that windows explorer stays out of the way for most of the work.
Pro File previews
Pro File / folder filters
Pro Folder views can be saved and applied
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.
Pro Color labels
Ntfs drives only, but still very convenient.
Cons
Con Folders cannot be sorted by size
Con Cannot access Android device connected by USB
Con Cannot access Android device by FTP
And can never will as this is clarified by developer that this feature will never be added.
Con It doesn't have UNDO function
Very important. When you work with valuable data files, this function can't be ommited.
Con Navigating folders by Ctrl+Tab has considerable delay
Con Browsing Recycle Bin is very slow
Navigating away from Recycle Bin tab and coming back to it reload the Recycle Bin which is very slow as mentioned. Program has an option to open recycle bin in Windows File Explorer, which suggests that developer is aware that opening Recycle Bin is problematic.
Con Confusing
Con Context menu only based on icons
No longer with Onecommander 3.6.43
