People even send emails with attached stuff instead of just using the goddamn shared folder.
Although it's rarely done with split screens. People use 2 file manager windows when they drag and drop.

You know, they have this cool desktop feature called "having multiple windows open".... it's been around a few years now. What's the advantage in having one file manager window with two tiled sub-windows, instead of just having two top-level windows?

Click (or crtl-click or alt-click) to select files, ctrl-c and then move the mouse and click to reach the destination, ctrl-v, close the file manager or move on to the next batch.
Dual-pane makes sense only if you don't have a mouse and you are stuck with only a keyboard and a rudimentary ncurses-like GUI.
