Total Commander
When U moved to Czechia in 2014, I was amazed to find everyone used this app. In my 2nd job, the company had a site licence and it was preinstalled on all PCs.<p>I&#x27;d not used or seen a 2-pane file manager since about 1993 and I never missed them.<p>It&#x27;s ubiquitous in central Europe and most people sneer at OS file managers. I was amazed and baffled.<p>I am perfectly capable of using them and occasionally did in the late 1980s, but I don&#x27;t normally use them and have no need. My Czech friends and colleagues are as amazed and baffled as I am by them.<p>I easily do this stuff in the Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, but mostly I work on Linux in Nemo. I can do all this stuff and sometimes I have shown people how and they are amazed that I can do stuff that they think impossible.<p>My overall conclusion is that a lot of FOSS development is driven by people who don&#x27;t know how to properly use the tools that the OS came with.<p>I keep hearing about &quot;editing at the speed of thought&quot; in Vim and so on. Users have to learn the keystrokes because that&#x27;s the primary UI. Result, when you know it, it&#x27;s fast.<p>Well, newsflash. Windows 3 had keystrokes for everything and by Win95 it was very customisable and extensible as well. If you learn to use the keyboard, the <i>entire OS</i> and <i>all apps</i> work as fast as Vim.<p>When I see the many Windows-like desktops for Linux that can&#x27;t do a vertical taskbar <i>properly</i> (MATE, LXQt, Cinnamon, Enlightenment) then I know they were cloned from Windows by someone who didn&#x27;t know how to use Windows.<p>When I see a hamburger menu on a computer with a keyboard, I know that that developer didn&#x27;t know how to use a GUI properly.<p>When I see CSD window decorations, I know that that developer didn&#x27;t know how to use a windowing GUI properly.
