- system2 6y agoNorton Commander was around in the 90's. I personally think this OneCommander is very crowded. It could be a little leaner.
- pmontra 6y agoMy first reaction was "very busy design" which is not bad (think about Excel) but those overlapping folder names are puzzling. Maybe they are OK when one is familiar with a file system layout, which is the case for all of us on our own computer. Same thing for all the other panes. It could be one of those tools for power users that need a complex UI because they do complex things.
- BuckRogers 6y agoI didn't use Norton Commander in the 80s. That wasn't the only one around, they were plentiful.
- alkonaut 6y agoBack then it felt like half of users swore by Norton commander and had to organize files every day for some reason. The other half just didn’t bother. My observation is that one of these groups later used Winamp and managed their own music files in some elaborate structure and the other group found that iTunes kept a structure (not perfect, but with zero effort) and loved it. (There are lots of overlaps here e.g I guess which group is now on iOS and which felt “I’m using Android because it’ll let me manage my own files”?)
- yuppie_scum 6y agoI had a Commodore 64 back then actually, I don’t see how that’s relevant to windows 10 in 2021 having a pretty ok file explorer already
