While not on subject: Interesting for me to hear that. But I can understand it. Before I always used Midnight Commander for file management and still use it on systems without Emacs. Under graphics I sometimes use Rox file manager and others from desktop like Caja, etc. And also shell. But when it comes to quick entering into directories, reviewing images, I have to invoke package sxiv and various others to be very fast. Sometimes I have to choose images and send quickly to other people. I think for 15 years I did not use Dired and for 5 years I cannot without it. Very hand options `dired-dwim-target' renames or copies marked files into other window. Within {M-x shell} I am often using `ed' editor to handle configurations including on remote servers. This may sound strange but is sometimes faster option to change few lines then invoking Emacs through Tramp to edit the file. I like to hear various experiences, thanks. Jean
