I personally prefer Hue as well, but here are more alternatives:

- You can use the Eclipse Plugin integrations (what comes bundled, and
also Karmasphere). I believe these use the tree-browser view mode.
- Unfortunately I do not recall the name but there was this one FTP or
remote-file-browsing client software, written in Java entirely, which
catered to HDFS as one of its protocols (seems to be the only one!).
This allowed regular filezilla-style browsing.
- Mount your HDFS with fuse-dfs and you get to use your native file
browser to browse it and do actions like you would on a regular
filesystem.

(I believe there are lot of other options, these are off the top of my head.)
