Xtrafinder is popular and free.

So far, I have put this on and it immediately improves the finder. Should be built in...

I will get to droids suggestions later today.

To cut or move a file?

The process is: cmd +c -> cmd+alt+v

to move a file. copy and paste works. cut and paste no.

xtrafinder has been awesome though.

Cut and paste for files does work, introduced in Lion, as Aqua_lung described.
