I would have said that bash is not a damned explorer -- rather, it's a darn good shell, which can often times be much better than an explorer. pushd +3. vim'ing on the command line. fc. NewCommand !!:$ diff -qr Long/Path/1 Another/Long/Path/From/Dir 2>&1 | tee ~/tmp/diff.out tar cf - Some/Directory | ( cd Other/Long/Path ; tar xf - ) find ... | xargs , etc., etc. How can *any* non-command-line compete. It would be like having one's hands chopped off. As for Far Manger, unfortunately, my environment is locked down.

Yes, but even in the Office suite, I've been surprised in the past.
