All of KDE is configurable (or unconfigurable) bouncing icons, mouse over
effects etc. A few minutes and some RFM and I like it.
I'm not 'a file manager person' but since I've migrated nearly 1/2 dozen
winders users to linux I needed to be very critical of the FM. Konqueror
is the only one of many that I've tried that I get consensis is better than
win-explorer, is rational and works intuitively.
I'm not, and have never been a winders user, so my intuitive bias is not
winders centric.
My only complaint about konqueror is that resolving 100s of icons eg jpegs
takes time. I still prefer that it does, so I've not researched turning it
off.
[but some recent research is relevant:
a class of students was split in half, given gimp and photoshop.
1/2 way through (the year?) they were swapped. Most thought that the new
program was terrid, and that the old was great. There was slight bias to
gimp, but not overwhelming ... so baby duck symptom prevails]
This is an invitation for comment.
