Is the software better, though?

Better can be argued. More performant though? Yes, massively so.

Turns out spending some time understanding what your CPU and GPU are actually doing when running your app, and how to make them do less work, leads to pretty speedy software.

Then it also turns out that this does not seem to impede most of the features of the software it is competing with, meaning that software is by definition wasteful.

It can't even be argued that the other software made better use of human resources since it's a large team vs one guy who is often not even getting paid, and the guy is the one with the fast software.

On a tangent, still waiting for File Pilot to have even the bare minimum of CJK support... I do like that the software is fast, but without support for other languages than English it's useless to most of the people in the world.

		Wow, no Unicode support is a pretty glaring flaw for a paid solution being sold as the superior alternative to Explorer.

		I don't see why you'd ever want to use File Pilot over Directory Opus on Windows. I'd like something better than Dolphin for Linux though, because Dolphin is absolute garbage. I'm going to have to write my own there.
