Like most GTK apps, Nautilus feels like a toy app.
Dolphin feels like a better app than what you have in any other OS.
Most of the best Linux apps seem like they're Qt, and that's because GTK is increasingly terrible to work with. The next runner up file manager to Dolphin, PCManFM, switched from GTK to Qt[0]:
```
Hong Jen Yee, developer of LXDE (the GTK version of which was dropped and all efforts focused on the Qt port), expressed disdain for version 3 of the GTK toolkit's radical API changes and increased memory usage, and ported PCMan File Manager (PCManFM) to Qt. PCManFM is being developed with a GTK and with a Qt backend at the same time.
