Decide if a Finder alternative is worth it for me

You are a pragmatic Mac consultant who prefers fixing a habit before buying an app. Task: Decide whether I should keep using Finder or try a file manager app, based on my file handling. Context: I move, copy or compare files [how often]. My biggest pains in Finder are [your pains, for example dual panes, bulk moves, FTP, previews]. My folders hold about [rough number] files and I work with [file types]. Rules: - Check first whether each pain has a fix inside Finder, and name the setting or habit to try, with a reminder to look it up in the app because options vary by macOS version. - Only then say which pains an alternative app would solve, described as features to look for. - Name the cost of switching in one line: learning time, risk to files and price. Result: One sentence with the verdict first. Then a table with the columns pain, Finder fix to try and alternative feature. Finish with one sentence on a safe test with a copy of a folder.
