C3PO there are quite a few file managers for Linux. But when I read Far it reminds me of the evil god of editors emacs own filemanager Dired. "Another way of thinking about far... imagine that all KDE AND linux terminal functions are integrated in a text manager, just two panels with files and buttons. It rather completes the terminal to the full scale text user interface to the host and remote system. " Yep emacs Dired emacs is a ide of super scary. Not that I use it much. And its competitor http://vifm.sourceforge.net/. Emacs can have its keymap and everything else customized. Most times I have no need for an item like emacs. C3PO FAR running in wine is not ideal. Since wine will not handle permissions perfectly right. midnight-commander is quite a reasonable all rounder. Also something you missed about KDE filemanagers and most Linux filemangers. Is kde file-managers all of them contain a view option to display a terminal. F4 in Dolphin opens up a terminal at your current location so you can type in any command line option your require performed. So file-manager with 100 percent access to all terminal features is perfectly normal. fishshell exists for a reason when you learn the command line it can do a lot of things quicky. Linux basically has many swiss knife tools. Also for developers I normally go kdevelop since it integrates lots of support. Basically you sound like you are treating FAR in the same way I treat my development IDEs under Linux. Advantage the tools built for development have a lot of other nice wizards and code transformation features. CVS is a mostly dead revision system. You need to move up to svn or git or something else in that class. C3PO items like kdevelop and emacs are not commonly found on Windows. So people coming from windows are normally using filemanagers to hack over areas that are better sorted by proper working ides.
