Sorry about going with the GUI based program here, but ROX is really easy to configure and replaces the copious use of menus with keyboard shortcuts. Graphical feedback allows for things like thumbnails, which are easy to enable just when you need them and easy to disable when you don't. The graphical environment also allows them to increase the density of information on the screen, so you can see longer lists of files or more file details than you could with Midnight Commander.

rox and mc are really above the rest in that they offer something unique.
