whow, everybody here likes midnight commander (and so do i, i could not live without it). the logical 2 pane view rocks, i was using it since norton commander an sticked with it ever since.
it's really wierd apple and microsoft ship suck a crippled filemanager. i see people struggling on a daily basis with finder and explorer. when copying moving files you either open 2 windows or you use ctrl-c ctrl-v and spend a lot of time navigating. please do not make more smart folders, filter crap or extra buttons, we need a 2 pane view

I don't find a lot of problems with Finder, but it could use a split pane mode to make things a bit easier. I find that the sidebar is quite useful.
I've been using PCManFM instead of Nautilus lately on Ubuntu and I find the tabbed mode interesting but as painful as I often find tabs in a web browser. I've read that there is an experimental version of Nautilus out that includes tabs. It may be the trendy thing to do, but is it actually all that helpful?
