I find the file exporers on linux a huge joke, and Finder on OSX is too simple for me.
On Windows I have found XYplorer [1] to be extremly powerful. Its not OSS and its not free, but I happily paid for it once I discovered it. The project is like 20 years old. I have looked for a free replacement for years and always ignored it, which was a mistake.
XYplorer is very well maintained, 0% CPU cost, 1% RAM cost, highly-configurable, has very nice features. Someone really put some thoughts into the UI and UX. I really like the Ghost filter. Ctrl+P is great. Oh and it remembers all opened tree views after restart, so your workspace is exactly the same after a reboot.
Now, on a more serious note, I think the way IE3's News and Mail Explorer extension dealt with custom views for filesystems was nothing short of brilliant. I wish we had something like that for Gnome now.
OS X and every major Linux DE have tabbed file explorers, Windows still doesn't. I've never even heard of a third-party file explorer for any OS.

Never missed them.
Total Commander for example.
Some people missed your sarcasm.

The "Windows sucks" meme (if you can call it that) is outdated for like 15 years.
