Windows Explorer is superior to Nautilus/Konq/Dolphin in my opinion.


I am trying figure out if you are being serious here or not. Explorer is a horrendous file manager. That's why there is so many alternatives to it available. When I used Windows, I got by with xplorer2, but even that pales in comparison to Konq. Dolphin has made huge strides in usability in it's latest incarnation.

I'm no fan of Nautilus and would probably agree with Explorer being better than it though. But like it was said before, to each their own.

Windows Explorer works just fine; not sure what issue you're having with it. Just because there are many alternatives to something doesn't mean the original is bad.
