Explorer just has so many little stupid things wrong with it that I'm tired of and I know they're never going to get fixed. In the longlongago Explorer replacements were a big deal; these days it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
Some of the things that bother me:
Only five presets for customization
Tied to Network and IO performance (while it's scanning files, the UI locks up)
Trying to change view options while a folder is scanning is nearly impossible (the options drop-down keeps resetting)
Folder contents aren't cached at all
Thumbnail generation sucks
Metadata handling sucks
Auto-scrolling in the treeview is annoying
Anyway - I don't want to debate the value of Explorer; it certainly does the job for most folks. I'm just hoping to replace it with something better for my use.
