I'd never heard of Gnome-commander. I assume it's similar to
midnight-commander? I'll have to look it up, it sounds interesting if
that's the case.

I've tried Thunar in the past but not outside of XFCE or FluxBox, I'd be
interested to see how it integrates with Gnome. As for Dolphin, I've
never really liked KDE applications but I have heard good things about
Dolphin in recent months and I did not know it had a terminal window
built in, which would be nice. I'll have to give it a try.

I've tried Cinnamon on other platforms before and wasn't crazy about it.
I personally have come to like Gnome3. It took some getting used to but
I've found it nearly impossible to switch to any other GUI environment
after having taken the time to learn the shortcuts in Gnome3.

I heard some musings about the Mint project forking Nautilus and fixing
what they felt was broken by the upstream developers. I can't remember
the name of it for the life of me, however, nor whether or not it
actually went into production or if it was just the rumor mill talking
about possibilities. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has
tried it I'd be interested in hearing what you thought of it.
