Are there any good file managers? At least on Linux there is the choice. I find OS X's finder and Windows' explorer pretty awful.

  On Windows there's Directory Opus which is really powerful, Total Commander is also really great. On OS X there's Pathfinder which is pretty good.

    Funnily, Directory Opus got its beginning on Amiga.

    Directory Opus is great, but it is expensive. Last time I checked it was 70 dollars for one computer and that doesn't include "major" updates which seem to happen fairly frequently.

  I'll add Clover (http://ejie.me http://ejie.me) to this list. It slaps WebKit onto the stock Explorer, giving you tabs, bookmarks, and some nice keyboard shortcuts.

  I use XYplorer on Windows. It is heavily customizable, which has allowed me to turn it into the File Manager I always wanted. The free version has everything I need, the pro version adds some features like scriptability. On Android, I am using X-plore (free again), which is also very innovative (it takes a bit to understand its design philosophy), customizable again, and very good. Only issue I see with it is that whenever it is running, battery drain is measurably higher. Thankfully it has an exit button in the GUI.

  I use Far Manager (with plugins, e.g. Colorer and NetBox) on Windows (in ConEmu). Total Commander and other GUI based filemanagers are too far disconnected from command line, in my opinion.
