Most of the features you list are available by default in Nautilus. For example, I can hit F3 to have dual panes in Nautilus, view FTP and network drives like normal directories, go into and view and move around stuff between archives and folders without extracting, preview a large array of file types, documents, and media quickly, and have bookmarked directories and files on the side to be quickly accessible. Nautilus is pretty customizable with hotkeys, ways to interact with not only Git but other VCS-es through plugins or otherwise. I appreciate you introducing Directory Opus though, I'll definitely take it for a spin on my Windows boxes.
