Man, talk about a brief overview. I'm glad he included Midnight Commander. I still think it's cool!
My favourite one (or, to be correct: my only one except the shell). With a proper mc.ext and customized syntax/* files very handy. Personally, I like the concept of having two panels, because most operations you do could be called "source target operations", e. g. copying, moving, symlinking. The MC handles this very well. It's highly customizable in what to do with files (PF3, PF4, Return) with different actions for X and console mode (for example, Return on a MP3 file in X: open XMMS and play, in console mode run madplay, PF3 to show ID3 tag information), and its editor (mcedit) is very powerful and still easy to use. Using it as an FTP client is a very nice feature. And finally, all this power comes with small disk usage and few dependencies.
Nice tool, can hardly live without it. =^_^=

Konqueror doesn't get much love from some people, but I remember working on a project and having it split into 4 quadrants. The top left was my local website files. The top right was a web browser view of the same site. The lower right was the ftp directory on the server. And the lower right was a samba network drive that had some files I needed for my work. It made for a nice workspace.
