Anyway, very entertaining discussion - especially that it seems to divide people into "love it" or "never heard of it".
That's oversimplified.
The nature of most discussions here. Still, only very slightly simplified. Sofar, we have one "love it", (I'm not sure where you fit in yourself?), one "have heard of it" (Liam) and otherwise "what?".
People love it because they took the time to discover how blazingly fast and efficient using one can be. There's good reason the term orthodox was applied to them.
Discussions of "love" and "how fast" reminds me of my highschool days. (no pun intended). Back then, nerds were busy working out if RPN calculators were faster than non-RPN ditto. The true nerds were busy booting up the mini-computer.
I suppose various GUI file managers have adopted functionality from them, but I've almost never even opened one of those.
As a sysadmin, I work in an environment that is virtually all text, frequently over remote VPNs. I.e. usually slow. I see zero use for any OFM - most often unavailable. I may be prejudiced, but for me, OFMs are primarily for hobbyists. In the office I certainly use Konqueror and Dolphin - for the usual office stuff. Spreadsheets, documents, PDFs, graphics, music, whathaveyou. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.5°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
