It used to be really good, but now I just use it once in a while for a specific task. It can't be used as a Finder replacement because, as everyone mentions here, there are too many problems, and their upgrade policy is extortion. Maybe they should go more modular and remove a lot of the bloated feature that slows down the system, that way, people can turn on what they want.
For example, I love the hex editor, but another user here has no idea what it's for, so hates it. I could live without previews if I gained a lot of speed, so make it a choice.
This is what killed the app Default Folder. I loved it and bought it years ago, and they bloated it to the point of killing it because it's so incredibly slow. I haven't used it in years. I hope PF can learn from these mistakes and work on performance.
Editing text in preview would be great, especially since Apple killed the ability in El Capitan to highlight text in QuickLook.
Also, expanding folders doesn't work at all. The expansion arrow is just missing, and I use that the most in the Finder, so it's annoying that PF can't do it. Annoying enough to stick to the Finder.
It must be a recent problem, because even the screenshots here show the ability to expand a folder tree, but the reality is that the expansion arrow is just gone, and there are no view options, or anything else I can find to get it back.
