That's what many are doing. Under a bit different circumstances, I'd be |
| 8 |
one of them, but it does still seem to be the best for me, even if it's |
| 9 |
taking way more work than it should for the transition. Even then, there |
| 10 |
are bits that I'm switching to non-kde alternatives for, like the hotkey |
| 11 |
thing. |

Another mc fan. =:^) I use it for my sysadmin type work, and have highly |
| 18 |
customized the user menu to that end. For ordinary user file management, |
| 19 |
however, managing images and videos and that sort of thing, working with |
| 20 |
preview-based icons is nice, and I still use kde tools for that. But |
| 21 |
certainly gnome tools would work too, and possibly file roller, etc. |
| 22 |
I've never tried them since I'm already using kde and might as well use |
| 23 |
the kde solution since it's already there and working well... for the |
| 24 |
tasks I use it for. |
