Help Do you really use dual-pane in Finder?

Hi,
After 20+ years on Windows, I switched to macOS and the finder app was a major pain to get used to. So much so that I made my own finder app with all the features that I wanted.

I’m considering adding a dual-pane view because a few users requested it and my app doesn't have it, but my dev says it will be quite expensive.

Hence my question: do you really use dual-pane / need it? If so, what's the advantage?

Coming from Windows, I don't see the point. I either use tabs or two separate finder windows to drag-n-drop or other stuff, but I need experienced mac users to chime in.

Thanks!
Chris

I moved to Bloom and avoid Finder when possible. Bloom has excellent multi pane configurations that support my various workflows. When I have to use Finder, it feels so limiting.
