I don't want to turn this into a favorite-file-manager-flame-thread, but
I'd like to point out that Debian has agreed to go with the GNOME project as
a 'standard' desktop GUI (instead of KDE), and guess what, MC is the
'standard' file-manager of the GNOME desktop. Second, there are things that
are 'standard' in Debian that aren't 'standard' everywhere else (like the
slang lib). My statement was simply meant as a strong endorsement of MC,
nothing more. It wasn't meant to start an argument over what
'standard'/'required'/'recommended' should mean.
