Anything in the emacs system that is similar to OIl.nvim?

Been using dired for a while now, and I very much appreciate it's setup, how it integrates within the editor, and many of it's specialized features. However, I'm really missing the power of Oil.nvim. Dired doesn't really seem to offer the true experience of "filesystem as a buffer", at least not as cleanly as oil does. Has anyone else sought out other utilities and found them to be offering an experience more along the lines of what Oil.nvim does?
