I'm curious how other people have configured their Finder.

Here's mine (default view).

Another view with some folders open.

I find that Columns view is the only usable one for me - it's very easy to navigate using the arrow keys.

Icons view requires too many double clicks (or double key presses) to open folders. Cover Flow works for some folders, but not for all. List view doesn't seem bad, but I've never given it a chance.

One thing I really miss is the ability to 'duplicate' a Finder window (opening a new one opens my default folder, not the current one) or open folders in a new Finder window.

Hm... Interesting. Well, I have pretty much the standard configuration but with a "show path"-thingy at the bottom.

From what I've noticed, I'm really the only person that has ever customized their Finder bar (of course I'm sure someone else has too)

Its a whopping 18 bucks for this product...

Is it really good?

I got it for 15 USD before the price increase. You can try it for free during 14 days if you want.

I personally like it, no crashes, very stable, good integration to the Finder, and very useful with a small screen (I hate having to open multiple Finder windows).

But it's clear that the price is a little bit expensive.
You can have three licences for 30$ if you find two others persons interested.

Here's mine in my home folder and documents. I switched to the column view a while back and love it for the documents/downloads folder.
