ranger is a file manager with VI key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. The secondary task of ranger is to psychically guess which program you want to use for opening particular files.
Design Goals ------------ * An easily maintainable file manager in a high level language * A quick way to switch directories and browse the file system * Keep it small but useful, do one thing and do it well * Console based, with smooth integration into the unix shell
Features -------- * UTF-8 Support (if your python copy supports it) * Multi-column display * Preview of the selected file/directory * Common file operations (create/chmod/copy/delete/...) * Renaming multiple files at once * VIM-like console and hotkeys * Automatically determine file types and run them with correct programs * Change the directory of your shell after exiting ranger * Tabs, Bookmarks, Mouse support

I love column view. The only problems I had with Finder were: White back ground, bothered my eyes, Width of columns in "as Columns" view. Ranger has solved them for me.

very good functionally-wise and very good defaults, but, considering this is a file manager for the terminal, performance is horrible which will cause the user a high level of frustration.
