What. Windows apps are far from sucking. There is still no OSS match for Windows Explorer.

- PascLeRasc 8y agoOS X and every major Linux DE have tabbed file explorers, Windows still doesn't. I've never even heard of a third-party file explorer for any OS.
- gsich 8y agoNever missed them. Total Commander for example.
- jackson1way 8y agoI find the file exporers on linux a huge joke, and Finder on OSX is too simple for me. On Windows I have found XYplorer [1] to be extremly powerful. Its not OSS and its not free, but I happily paid for it once I discovered it. The project is like 20 years old. I have looked for a free replacement for years and always ignored it, which was a mistake. XYplorer is very well maintained, 0% CPU cost, 1% RAM cost, highly-configurable, has very nice features. Someone really put some thoughts into the UI and UX. I really like the Ghost filter. Ctrl+P is great. Oh and it remembers all opened tree views after restart, so your workspace is exactly the same after a reboot. [1] https://www.xyplorer.com/ https://www.xyplorer.com/

- rbanffy 8y agoNow, on a more serious note, I think the way IE3's News and Mail Explorer extension dealt with custom views for filesystems was nothing short of brilliant. I wish we had something like that for Gnome now.
- gsich 8y agoThe "Windows sucks" meme (if you can call it that) is outdated for like 15 years.
