I haven't used MC since late 1990's and I can't really say I miss it! I perform lots of file-managing tasks every day and I'm quite happy with Nautilus.

MC isn't about DOS, nor about old-fashioned. It's about efficiently performing the panoply of tasks in the OFM repertoire. http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/index.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_file_manager#Orthodox_file_managers MC needs to be on every live Linux CD. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
