Tell that to Edscott, the talented and rather passionate maintainer of the Xffm.

Thomas has a very clear direction for Rox that is pretty much
perpendicular to the direction Xfce and a majority of it's users want
to go.

Have you taken a look at Thunar? It's the new file manager that is
designed for the niche of users who's needs aren't met by Xffm or
other tree oriented managers (like Filer, and Endeavour Mark II file
managers).
