Dolphin has only improved over the years - the only annoying thing about it is how you can't use it with root. pcmanfm in my experience functions better than Thunar while being more lightweight. Never tried caja.
I never said anything about split view, nor do I care about having it.

Great to see this. XFCE4 super stable and straight forward. Chou happy.
Thunar does tabs, which is good I guess. I don't know the keyboard shortcuts but presumably if learnt would give good enough split screen, or just split screen your monitor with 2 thunar processes?
All roads lead to tmux and vim for me so YMMV?!?!

Strongly disagree. Dolphin has gone to shit, as has nautilus. pcmanfm trails far behind Thunar and caja. My fave Linux 'desktop' is MATE but with Thunar as the file manager.
People are bemoaning Thunar not having a split window view but it does have tabs so I don't really miss it.
And if you like scripting, then Xfe is also very good because it can easily be extended with scripts. (but it uses the FOX Toolkit which needs a little theme tweaking through the FOX Control Panel if you want it to look better)

Dolphin also supports split-view (per-tab)
Krusader is by design split-view (mutple tabs per split)
Both of them supports embedding terminal (which follows currently opened directory)
And while KDE Plasma is a bit dissapointing (considering resources usage [CPU, RAM]) it's most configurable/customizable DE (I loved AweosmeWM, but rewriting configs every few releases is not fun. And you cannot achieve so easily things like Global Menu/Active Window Control, other devices/services interoperability(Android integration, Pulseaudio). It still uses INI's style config files and is generally hacker-friendly. The only downside is that it's resource hungry and it's Tiling plugin really sucks(I nearly always works with one-maximized windows - so not a big miss comparing to added benefits)
