There are configurable thumbnails, and a lot of extensions and plugins in Nemo.
My use case is having a directory full of invoices in PDF (and other images formats), and needing to look quickly at each one to record the date and value. With Dolphin (and for that matter Windows Explorer) it's trivial to split the file viewer window such that half my screen is taken up by the preview, making it easy to read the details. Once the details have been extracted the files are then moved into the appropriate directory (which is probably in a different file browser tab).
Nemo doesn't seem to have this capability - there is the pop-up you get from hitting the space bar which is a partial solution but not quite as good as a preview pane (and there seem to be several others looking for this functionality in Nemo).
As you say there are other file managers available which don't require me to switch O/S though.
