"Linux file manager ontogeny encapsulates the history of GNU/Linux. File managers began as command-line and generic graphical tools and progressed to desktop-specific ones, gaining sophistication along the way, with mouse controls, for example, replacing buttons. Today, the more than a dozen options highlighted here will suit users with widely varied interests."

To be entirely honest, for most users, especially those coming across as Microsoft Windows refugees, KDE's Konqueror or Gnome's Nautilus will do a fine job. Those making a preference for Krusador or NC/MC clones simply do so because that's what they're used to, or they have a specific user need that they meet (and maybe other file managers do not meet). That doesn't mean that NC/MC clones are better than Konqueror/Nautilus (dor does it mean that they're worse either I might add).
In the end, for most people, Konqueror and Nautilus do the job, and do it well.
