A file manager.

I have the full version and tinkered with it for a bit. Extremely configurable and capable, but I just don't need it. QTTabBar is fine.

The default Windows explorer.exe is unbearable after using SpaceFM on Linux for so long. I can't deal with multiple windows even with all the shit that's cooked into Windows 8.1 to supposedly help.

I need a tabbed explorer, and not some oddball replacement file manager.

Alternatives: Clover, 7plus

A commandline file manager.

Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

For some reason, this is still included by default in many distributions.

It's an awful, awful program. Its UI is such shit that I've still got habits to double-check where my cursor actually is before interacting. Fuck you, PCManFM. Fuck. You.

(almost) Entirely obsoleted by SpaceFM.

The current god of file managers.

Originally a set of modifications to PCManFM, called PCManFM-mod. It got a life of its own, and was rewritten.

It's bloody amazing, and does so much "just right". I can tell that the author has his head on straight. It ought to be the default in Linux distributions.
