More nonsense. The fact that you are unfamiliar with Linux tools doesn't make those tools inferior. Actually, the fact that you are unfamiliar with Linux tools should stop you from expressing an opinion about them. > That CLI work in Linux continues in networking is not > relevant to the issue at hand, It's relevant because you said there were no new CLI apps for Linux. Or do you wish to change your claim to: "There are no new CLI apps for Linux... EXCEPT in networking." > I didnt see you, nor anyone else who uses Linux offer any > clue. Why not? Because you aren't really seeking answers. You just want us to pitch balls to you so you can bat them away. > the reasonable assumption is that MC is the only thing > anyone knows about. Actually, I don't know much about MC either. I don't use the thing. But, if it would shut you up, I'm sure I could find at least three more file managers for the Linux CLI. > That MC is lacking is not a problem caused by Linux, but > the fact that it has not been upgraded MC has been upgraded many times. > or replaced with another more tool with more functionality > is evidence that work on this CLI is not being done Nonsense. Many people are familiar with MC and they stick with it because of that familiarity. Just like you stick with DOS -- it's familiar and comfortable. > HAve you run DW to compare it with MC? Have you consulted Freshmeat to see how many new apps there are for the Linux CLI? Most (all?) of us have given up trying to convince you of anything. You are entitled to your opinion and I am quite happy to leave you to it. However, when you push your erroneous opinions as fact, I must reply to prevent other readers from getting the wrong idea.
