No way to contact the developer, though; on the other hand it's free! Cant expect the guy to give it away and support it as well.
Bottom line: get it. You will love it. (I tried to give it 4.5 stars).

The dual-pane, cut/paste, and superior tab browsing alone make it indispensable for someone like me that is always doing intensive Finder browsing and file manipulation.
All the other added features certainly add more value. The added option to turn features on and off make this really a configurable utility based on what you red and don't need.
Some of it takes some getting use to fi you don't know what something does and produces an undesirable result, so I recommend turning feature on individually over time, so you can see what something does, and if it will be useful for you.
Overall this is great: The feature are good; Ease of use is good; Value is excellent; and Stability is moderate.
I too experience the odd hang that also cause the Finder to stall. This is usually during a Finder operation such as a Spotlight search and/or a file copy. The first is not too much of an issue, but the latter is a problem if the file(s) did not copy completely.
For the first issue, its simply a matter of restarting the Finder which kills the hung XtraFinder and then starting XtraFinder again.
The second issue is more serious and requires not only restarting the Finder and then starting XtraFinder, but also checking the source and target locations to see what was moved and what was not. I often find faded file icons with zero sizes that have to be deleted fro the target location and then validating which files from the source location still need to be copied or moved.
The above only happens about 5-10% of the time and it seems to be primarily on remote volumes. However, this is more a nuisance issue that a critical fail, because I have never experienced file corruption of the source material like data loss.
Incidentally, the other similar Total Finder is good too, but I find that there are more features that I use in XtraFinder and the 'free' price tag has an influence as well :-)
I hope the developers of these two fine Finder enhancements continue to develop these. I would even pay for either just to have the stability improve... but not too much mind you :-)

This finder extension seamlessly and unobtrusively fills in all the gaps, without requiring a separate UI and whilst perfectly maintaining the integrity of the apple "experience".
All features are opt-in, so it provides the user with the availability of choice.
I highly recommend this extension to any Mac user, and especially for those used to Windows.

The big reason I use it is being able to merge two tabs as a split window view. I use this constantly. I pretty much only use it for that, and the colorful sidebar. But it has more great features too.
And it's free!

I ended up wiping my hard drive and doing a clean install of mavericks, and then restoring from my Carbon Copy Cloner backup. Now my iMac runs faster than ever, and the Finder does not act funky, even with XtraFinder. The Mavericks 10.9.1 update helped even more. Now it's rock solid.

Meanwhile I'm using Total Finder :-(

These brave developers are fighting an up-hill battle against Finder and they are winning it. So please report the bugs nicely and be patient. Development is a hard job and on top of this XtraFinder is a generous free offer.

xTrafinder is totally free of charge - but much worth some funding! - all the time and work Mr. Tran Ky Nam puts into this project for all of us should be part of profuse thanks. For example: I reported the "column width problem" just the other day - and just ONE day later, he fixed it!
Almost ALL of this "Mr" Celms comments on any program is negative and derogatory. I may be wrong, but the name "Celm" seems to point into the middle east by name, this would explain lots of the frustrated speach - when, ever, has something good, modern, progressive, useful and valuable shown up from this region or people. Allways just complaints. Do something worth honouring for the community by yourself FIRST - instead to down someone bluntly - and anonymously. Thank you Mr. Tran Ky Nam and all the others here who spend lots of their time and energy on helping the world and OS X to become better.

I use the dual panel display multiple times every day. It works perfectly. This is the main reason I use XtraFinder, since Mavericks Finder can't do that.

Bug report that I have been noticing, on Mac OSX 10.6.8
When you are on desktop, and dragging an item on desktop to another folder or volume, xtrafinder freezes the native finder "spring loaded folders and windows" function.
You end up with a ghost/shadow of the icon movement still visible, and a frozen finder
A force quit of finder is required, which also quits xtrafinder, but once xtrafinder is inactive and native finder is relaunched, normal correct behaviour returns.
Did not notice this bug in version 0.13.1, but this happens all time in version 0.14...
( I have no crash log, because it 'freezes' finder, requiring relaunch of finder, not an actual crash…)
Thank You for your help and updates
any help ???

Feature Request?:
Would like to be able to drag icon at top of Tab to desktop.
Would like to be able to 'right-click' on icon at top of Tab.
This is to restore functions that are available when standard finder window is open, without XtraFinder installed. In the past, I often right clicked on the icon on top of finder window, and could also drag that new icon on top of tab to new destination freely. Your XtraFinder is very good, would like to add back standard functions, please. Thank You

It messed up my desktop moving all of my icons to the right like auto-arrange is on, but it is now.
There doesn't seem to be any way around this.
I cannot get my icons on my desktop to move.

Even though all keep arranged pref were off, for some reason, changing to sort bt name, then back to sort by kind reset the problem.
Icons now move freely on the desktop.
