    Not for everyday use, but a massive time-saver for renaming files and folders: "A Better Finder Rename". Not only marked files, but renames folders AND subfolder content. Can be set to just rename the files, folders, or both. With the native renaming tool I tried to mass-rename folders and nothing happened. Then I got "A Better Finder Rename" and was blown away by its capabilities.

    For the drap and drop thing, I see you didn’t use the 3fingers tip : in the accessibility settings , you can choose 3fingers have the same behavior that « hold press » (sorry I am not native english). Really really easy to drag and drop things, move window and other things.

    3 fingers settings is absolutely fabulous and easy to use but for 5 dollars the drop over app give access to much more than that. of course if it's just for drag and drop one file here and there, go with the 2 or 3 fingers settings.

    The best thing about macOS for me is apps for dedicated purposes like hiding icons on status bar, dropzone etc. Windows always had similar things but since windows users mostly not willing to pay for small-but-useful stuff, even small sized battery monitoring programs were feeling so immature. On mac (I think because developers can profit from what they developed even with pretty basic but useful features) apps like you've listed takes my computer using experience to whole new level.
