But you forgot mc, Kate, and its still the best after
all these years.
Konqueror is a wannabe, and krusader is so limited its not worth its
storage space on spinning rust.
Oh I didn't forget MC, but it's a "CLI" file manager (and a mighty one),
but
not a graphical one.
I disagree with Konqueror being a wannabe. It's a fantastic tool with infinite
uses. You just have to know how to use it. Krusader is a great one too,
again, if you know how to use it.
For me, for example, Krusader an archiving tool. Target on one side, source on
another and it tests the archives for me. Been using it for years. Then using
Luckybackup for the rest.
In 20 years. I have NEVER lost data. That's also partly because I have it down
to a science and do them every night. The first times, is always the hardest
and most time consuming.
I will say this about MC. It is a life saver. In the end, I have to agree, it
is the most powerful tool of all under fire.

and i think that both are necessary. the very first thing i install in a
new linux setup is midnight commander -- the height of achievement by
miguel de icaza, who in his declining career first invented gnome then
went to work for msft. (a nice guy, though -- i interviewed him in boston
when he was still doing ximian.) mc will get you out of all kinds of
trouble. and "sudo mc" in a terminal is maybe the most practical desktop
shortcut to a world of things.
and for regular file management from the desktop, nothing touches
konqueror.

Well, I've found that Konqueror Very Often misrenders modern websites, but
IMO it's probably the best all-around file manager I've used; very flexible
due to splittable panes, kio slaves, etc.
I do miss KDE's Image View, which I think is better than the one in Trinity's
Konqueror, but otherwise, Konqueror rocks as a file manager.

yup, it is always the browser of last resort, for use if and only if nothing else will,
due to setting or plugins, open a page. and even then it usually doesn't work. it is a
file manager that renders web pages about as well as mc does.
