Double Commander is near 100% clone of TC and cross-platform.

I don't really agree. Total commander has a lot of man hours spent into polishing its exceedingly large feature set. It's extensibility is not really reached by anything. Now that I had to comment about both foobar and TC, I realize that probably why I was so found of them both was their large plugin ecosystem that allowed less mainstream usages for them.

  DC is developed in last 10 years, so its not young product. TC is developed by single person and has VERY slow development - Ghisler. DC supports TC plugins, and interface is better on lots of things (ie. multi rename tool, config etc.). I am telling you as someone who uses both constantly - the reason I do so is because DC is great but it still have one bug with network path freezing that is very annoying to me so I still use TC for that reason. Some TC plugins don't work fully in DC. That is all that is wrong. Plugin problem is rare and its not that big, but network glitch is bad. The moment it goes away TC goes away from my life too. DC is getting momentum and the more people that support it, the better it will be.

    That's very interesting, thank you for taking the time to reply. I based what I said on trying it sometime in 2007-2008, which looking at the commit history seems to be very close to when it was actually launched. I had no idea it was maintained for all this time, so it definitely warrants a new look. :)
