    Because it's a TUI (Text User Interface) program, it's much faster than many other file managers out there. It's also keyboard-driven, and once you learn the shortcuts and download the necessary plugins, it becomes indispensable. Use it together with ConEmu (install to a Far folder) for better Unicode support and prettier color palette. Great amount of features, and it's still free!

    I've quickly become a huge fan of far manager. What really makes far manager is the plugins. Two examples of really great plugins are the winscp plugin that allows your to do sftp/scp from within far, and the user manager. The one neat feature of the user manager is it allows you require a user to change their password at next login in windows xp home edition. The xp home edition ui hides this feature normally.

    Said about Far Manager as an alternative

    At first glance the interface looks identical.
    Positive comment • almost 6 years ago • as an alternative to   Midnight Commander

    It actually looks like the original Norton Commander.
    Positive comment • over 1 year ago • as an alternative to   Double Commander

    Text mode, but rich of features, with command line and rich of plugins.
