What file manager do you use?
ranger.el
-
Double Commander
I still appreciate having a tool like ranger for emacs: https://github.com/ralesi/ranger.el
It's not quite the two-column file manager; but it's inspired by a file manager + preview, with simple keybindings for navigating.

How to preview file contents like with ranger?
Well, you have ranger in emacs if you'd like to use it... https://github.com/ralesi/ranger.el

A little visual file browser
If you like ranger, there is a ranger.el for Emacs, no need to run vterm + bash + python just to manager your files :-).

I used Emacs' Dired as my only file manager for 15 Days.
After like 20 years on using dired, i decided (After reading this thread) to try ranger.el and i never thought I would rebind my usually dired-jump binding c-x c-j to it. It's fantastic and I encourage every "direder" to try it

ANN: Dired-git-log - display Git logs in Dired buffers (fork of dired-git-info)
I have used Clemeras dired-git-info for a while, but it does not work well with my dired-auto-readme and dired-subtree from dired-hacks due to use of overlays.

Emacs Dired extras by Prot ?
As an alternative to do stuff manually as Prot does, you can also take a look at dired-hacks by Goljer, a.k.a Fuco, in particular dired-subtree and dired-filter. Dired-subtree let's you "toggle" directory listings displayed inline, similar as how other file managers expand/collapse directories in "list-mode". If you prefer using Dired interactively, that one is a game changer in my opinion. I have 'dired-subtree-toggle' on a tab key, so I can just quickly press tab to "expand/collapse" a folder. it is not same as pressing 'i' in Dired and having content of a directory inserted "below", but in my opinion, I never find the built-in Dired version very appealing. Subtree-toggle also skips extra headers for inserted directories, and I can still do all dired operations on directories as if they were inserted with built-in method that Prot demonstrates. I have also used dired-subtree-toggle to make three small functions on top of it to expand entire directory tree one folder at a time, all at once and to collapse them.

Move files in Emacs [OC]
On a similar note, dired-ranger has some awesome copy/paste/move functions.
-
Does any package exist to view code structure in a tree like manner?
I personally use just Dired, styled with some addons and a simple script where I use dired-subtree to expand/fold subdirectories one level at the time. You can use dired-subtree to expand one directory at a time.

Dirvish: a minimalistic file manager based on dired. Such as ranger, vifm, lf.
dired-subtree (from dired-hacks) - hit tab on a directory and expand/fold the subtree;
-
Use query-replace on an entire dired recursively (including subdirs and their contents)?
If you are using dired-hacks, it comes with something called dired-subtree.
