The file manager isn't hardcoded to anything right now, and I don't see much point in doing so. We will have our own file manager that fits in with the COSMIC aesthetics and technologies though. We should be able to create something that will make Nemo and Dolphin users want to switch to COSMIC's file manager.

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

This is great news. A file manager and hybrid editor written in Rust by System76 sounds too good to be true. Add a Rust based simple music player and I'm in heaven.
Super happy to hear! I look forward to trying it out on my laptop. Thanks for chiming in with that bit of information.
Pop!_OS being an OEM for System76 probably means they will definitely release with a file manager GUI, but I wouldn't care if it had none at all. You should be fine to swap out the default if what you want is a Flatpak though. Alternatives include any terminal TUI like Felix and any Rust apps developed with Iced or Slint, which I would be in favor of.
Both Nautilus and Felix currently work well in the pre-alpha COSMIC, but navigating in and working with the filesystem in terminal is a breeze when set up nicely. Bash is great, but I prefer Z shell (Zsh) with auto-suggestions, auto-completions, autojump and a stack of aliases and scripts.
I agree, I really miss Dolphin and would like to use it in popOS
I use Dolphin in Pop. Good times!
I tried once and couldnt get i to work properly, maybe I should try again then!
I didn't do anything special. I just installed it. Then I customized it, of course.
I mainly use NNN but the Pop_OS! is often handy too. Especially with usb sticks.
