I tested those as well as several other file managers, too, before choosing xfe some 7 years ago to run on Debian Wheezy on then 7 year old hardware. I needed one that ran well on a lightweight, custom installed system without a desktop environment -- just X and a window manager. All the others seemed too heavy. Their performance was noticeably slower as well. Xfe just zipped along and even though it did have limitations as my needs were basic, I hardly noticed. When I switched to Devuan Beowulf and a new Ryzen system this year from Debian Stretch and that old system (now almost 14 years old*), I just stayed with xfe. B *That old system still runs just fine. Plan to turn it into a NAS running Beowulf terminal only system and OpenMediaVault.
