General information[edit]
Operating system support[edit]Cross-platform file managers[edit]
This table shows the operating systems that the file managers can run on, without emulation.
Mac-only file managers[edit]*nix-only file managers[edit]Windows-only file managers[edit]
Manager views[edit]
Icon views represent files and folders as large icons.
Details + Thumbnails views and Favs-panel (bottom left)
Information about what common file manager views are implemented natively (without third-party add-ons).
Note that the 'Column View' does not refer to the Miller Columns browsing / visualization technique that can be applied to tree structures / folders.
Twin-panel file managers have obligatory connected panels where action in one panel results in reaction in the second. Konqueror supports multiple panels divided horizontally, vertically or both, but these panels do not act as twin panels by default (the user has to mark the panels he wants to act as twin-panels).
Network protocols[edit]
Information on what networking protocols the file managers support. Note that many of these protocols might be supported, in part or in whole, by software layers below the file manager, rather than by the file manager itself; for example, the Mac OS X Finder doesn't implement those protocols, and the Windows Explorer doesn't implement most of them, they just make ordinary file system calls to access remote files, and Konqueror either uses ordinary file system calls or KIO slave calls to access remote files. Some functions, such as browsing for servers or shares, might be implemented in the file manager even if most functions are implemented below the file manager.
File features[edit]
Information on what basic file features the file managers support.
Browsing features[edit]
Search features[edit]
Information on what file searching features the file managers support. RegExp include the possibilities of nested Boolean searches, thus implicitly all file managers supporting RegExp search support also Boolean searches.
Column Definitions (D)
Entry Notes (s)
Extensibility[edit]
Information on which parts of the application can be extended by plugins.

I know this is an old topic, but I still have a problem to find a good alternative, maybe I have high standards.
There is a 4 years old article about this.
But the question is, why is Nautilus so bad in two pane mode? Why is it so slow when browsing folders?And, why are all other file managers from article so ugly?
I like Krusader, but it does not looks near as good as Nautilus.
Is Nautilus slow because of the fancy GUI rendering?Is it hard to make file manager which fits nice in Unity?
What is your experience and what file manager are you using?
EDIT:
I got interesting results by making Krusader look native in Unity. I like it now.

One Commander Alternatives3 Answers
Well, honestly I like to put here a great answer to you, but I cannot. Still I can't find an equal program to Total Commander on ubuntu. I'm thinking same way like you about on nautilus and krusader.
Additionally I had needed a good FTP client like on Total Commander.
So I have ended with 2 programs.

All other file managers in the article are ugly, because as you have pointed out that article is dated four years back. So most of the tools in that article are bound to look outdated(Its from that time period).
For good(new age) alternatives to Nautilus, please refer this post: Are there any alternatives to Nautilus? Another list of alternatives, with screenshots: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/daily-5-5-alternative-file-managers
Personally I like the Kde default file manager
Dolphin , after Nautilus .

Maybe you like the midnight commander. It's a terminal program but quite capable.It's true terminal style! Terminal is never ugly.
