I'm currently using MoRu as a Finder add-on. It makes the whole Finder experiences much more tolerable. Well worth checking out, the only shame is that it's not intergrated IN the Finder, otherwise, just perfect.
If you want lots of "options," Pathfinder 4 seems superior. There are a couple of workflow game-stoppers for me, but it has useful features that some of you may like, if you like that ^^^ ...thing.
No. But when I write "It looks like" elron writes "it is". That indicates he have tried it.
To be fair, I never wrote "it is". I said "That program is a UI nightmare", and I don't have to try it to know that. It just is. Look at it. You'll wake up in a cold sweat tonight thinking about it. I promise.
Well, we'll know tomorrow. Whatever the result, I applaud the effort someone's taking to try and build a 'better' FInder. I, for one, look forward to trying it out.
The problem with that UI, other than the over-crowding, the regression into older ways of thinking, and the complete lack of style, is that it still has no way to jump from one section of the file structure to a completely different section. For example:
In the Windows (blech! ack! yuck!) world, you have an address bar, that would allow me to make such a jump very easy. I would think that Apple or someone else could see the brillance (antidote, please!!) of that kind of ability to jump structures.
Now, how Apple could do it is with whatever window you have open, if you punched in Cmd-Shift G, it would show you your current path. That would solve it for me, but so far Apple hasn't done that, which irritates me.
Oh well, hopefully in Leopard.
Now I need to immerse myself in Mac-goodness, plus give myself 50 lashings with the Apple mouse, for even thinking Windows had a brilliant idea in the whole OS.

Yeah but, you see, size doesn't matter, it's how you use it that counts.

Aren't we optimistic today.
Seriously, looking at the screenshots. The developers have no sense for a good OS X application, and every window is an oldstyle metal window.
