    What Are Your Favourite File Managers?

    I want to make a review of file managers on Linux, and, in the spirit of the other poll about text editors, I'd like to know what file managers are the favourite ones for the fellow K/X/Ubuntu users.

    My personal preference is a mix between Konqueror (in KDE3) with Dolphin and Konqueror in KDE4 and rarely Xfe.

    I think Thunar is the best...it is very clean and simple. I wish GNOME would adopt it. Nautilus is much less customizable and extremely ugly. The only down side of Thunar (last I knew) was the lack of file share support.

    PCManFM for sure. I can't stand tabless Thunar, nor bloated Nautilus.

    Nautilus. Bookmarks, gvfs, I see no reason to switch.

    pcmanfm, swift execution with tabs, a user coming from gnome will surely like it.

    Thunar, I think. (But like smartboyathome, I find its lack of tabs a glaring deficiency.)

    Frankly, I'm not too happy with any of them. Windows Explorer is far better than any of the Linux alternative I've tried. I'm sticking with Thunar at the moment although I regret the lack of network browsing in particular.

    ls and cd. Enough said.
