I think GUI tools like this should use every opportunity to gently introduce users to the conventions used in lower-level tools that they may eventually decide to use. For example, in the top of each pane in the screenshot there is a directory open with a path listed. Perhaps show it with typical path separators (/) so the user gets used to it.

By default, Marta shows file icons that identify directories pretty well. You are free to disable the icons and specify `directoryPrefix` and `directorySuffix` in conf.json. But it would be an interesting idea to make a "set up wizard" that will suggest users disable the icons.
