Nautilus is nice, and much faster now than it used to be...
But my favorite is Thunar. It just rocks. 8)

Is thunar stable enough to get rid of your other file manager? except midnight commander, cause it's jsut sweet

I'm sure hoping Thunar will be as good as they say it'll be, but I'm gonna wait 'til it's officially released before trying it. Xffm sucks so bad I can't bring myself to start it up, so I've been using rox for the last 8 months and it works pretty well.
Looking forward to trying Thunar, though!

As of right now Thunar is quite stable - shadowhand has compiled the current version so it doesn't exit on errors.

Rox because it kicks ass, but the main reason is because I found this on dibbles site about a year ago or so http://dtw.jiwe.org/content.php?article.10 you can write scripts for everything with it.

Hah, I saw that just today. Can't wait to try rox with a few scripts. Even though I use CLI most of the time, having an alternative -would- be nice.

Speaks for itself: CLI till I die.
Even when I'm using gnome or kde or whatever fluffy graphical thingie I'm working with, I use a terminal and cp/mv/rm/ls etc.
Don't know really why...it feels more reliable and I'm used to it...more than I'm used tot konqueror or nautilus.
Fine apps though..CLI!

I use CLI and Konq.
CLI is really fine, and with tab completion, what else do you really need? :>
As for Konq, I use it to browse my media directories. I made it a bit spatial (left only the back, forward, up and home buttons and the location bar) and done some key bindings (Ctrl+E for terminal emulator). There is nothing better for browsing dirs with loooong filenames (such us movie titles) than a graphical fm. And when I need to move something , unrar, unzip, copy, whatever... I just press Ctrl-e and the term emulator appears beneath. When I'm done its ctrl-d and everything is fine.
As for Thunar.... Yea.. it looks really awesome. Too bad it's not QT based

I use Konq and Krusader (KDE mc like gui).
But, when all else fails, its good 'ol cli.

I use Nautilus 90% of the time. Though I sometimes use Thunar.
Nautilus is slow to startup the first time, like anything I suppose, but after that it's fine.
The main issues stopping me from using Thunar exclusively are small things such as not auto-completing the directory name when I'm typing in the location bar. It also doesn't remember the window position, which is annoying.

i used to use rox all the time but then i found slim the login manager... which enabled me to make custom sessions much easier and now i have a login manger and can make sessions as easily as putting stuff into ~/.xinitrc and now to my point: all i had to do to make konq startup fast is to put kdeinit & in .xinitrc!
I found out that by looking at the startkde script and maybe
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit
which is also there will make it load even faster but i haven't bothered trying yet!
conclusion; konq is fast if u load kdeinit first(on my 2.4ghz atleast..). GDM, KDM is CRAP atleast on fglrx because i had problems with them crashing & screwing up multidisplay iregurarly compared to SLIM which never crashes and works flawless, is much smaller, faster AND easier to setup custom linux on!
so now i have perfect linux

CLI + Thunar
Thunar is really awesome, very light, already fully-functionnal. Thanks to shadowhand for weekly svn package

I am using mc. IMO is easier to edit, chmod...copy...

tuxcmd! A VERY well kept secret it seems.
Have a look at tuxcmd (Tux Commander), a GTK-based twin panel file manager. It is rather like a GUI version of Midnight Commander - you could consider it to be a lightweight Krusader - no need for all that KDE heft.
tuxcmd is available in either AUR or the Community repo - can't remember which one.
tuxcmd is light, fast and VERY effective.
Try it, you'll like it.

mc and rox are my favorites

I use CLI very often. However, when I want to delete many (but not every) files in a directory, I use a FM. My favourite is worker, which is very light-weight, very basic, very fast and proficient, and in the latest releases also very configurable.
Furthermore, when I need to browse media directory and so I need thumbnails, I use pcman-fm, which is less essential and clean than worker, but anyway very lightweight and fast.
