I know this is a terrible confession to make on this list, but there is
and has only ever been one file manager that does what I want a file
manager to do the way I want it to do it (and that includes one running
on windoze & macos): kfm/konqueror (xftree is probably #2). Why?:
1) I prefer single click operations
2) It gives the choice of copy, move or link on dragging files from 1
dir to another.
3) You can drag files into a terminal window and it handles it usefully
(though this is probably more a function of konsole than of konqueror)

[I run KDE on the higher-spec machines that I use and XFCE on the lower-end boxes].
