Midnight Commander is good. it's on just about every distro.

The MC receiving the focus it should to, I personally do in either said MC or in konqueror, all others lacking the sheer number of protocols supported by the konqueror and the speed+stability of MC.

Despite of above written, i voted for krusader.

1. Konqueror being soon obsolete by dolphin (kde4?)
2. MC being omnipresent
3. ever tried to swiftly free couple GB on a multy 100GB system ;-)? the graphical space oversight of krusader just rocks above all (in pie chart mode).
4. Most users ever, used a 2 plane FM, so are familiar to krusader by default

Thunar. it has a good balance between features and maneuver. i miss the tabs in the new Nautilus but it simply it stands in the user's way (eg: expanding some folders when one tries to select others, issues with changing folder tree owners).
i excluded the KDE ones, although i think Dolphin and Krusader are great.

I like the way Konqueror can be used in many ways. However, it's fair to say that I haven't tried others, but I will. On the CLI, mc, I guess.

My vote goes to Konqueror, even though the KDE team tries to replace it with Dolphin. I prefer a File Manager which I can write my own Actions to.

I can't vote:
The "None/Other" option is missing.

Still awaiting a filemanager that beats TkDesk.

Gnome commander was pleasant surprise for me. I found it few months ago. For a newbie like me, it is more user-friendly than MC, IMHO.

I like midnight commander.
Like Norton commander gives me a feel of the old times.
And it's pretty fast too.
Shows fancy bars when copying...

other then that thunar does most of the job for me.

I expect a split here between the heavyweights (Konq & Nautilus) and the lightweights. I like the lightweights. PCManFM is slick and fast with no BS.

try Krusader, a very similar approach to TC.
