I would have to respectfully disagree - FileBrowser is far and away the clear winner. There are no viable alternatives that I can find (if someone can point one out, I'm all ears). > Furthermore, I don't really see what adding file management to contrib > gives us (it seems to work just fine as a third party app), ... except that it's not working just fine (because of this dependency on Grappelli). > and I'd hate to > see innovation stifled at this stage by including one of the implementations > in contrib. I definitely agree in principle about not stifling innovation. But at the same time, one of the important jobs of a framework is to handle tasks that are common to many web sites. I'd say that file management falls into that category. But I certainly won't press on this if the developers disagree.

It was along the lines of what you're saying here. I'll post something and see if I can get details on exactly what he was trying to overcome. Thanks for the feedback.
