Quick question: What default file manager/workbench replacement do you use or want to use on AROS?
1. Wanderer
2. Dopus Magellan
3. Scalos?
4. Ferail?

Is there anything else I missed? If you use anything other than Wanderer, why? What are the issues with Wanderer?

Ferail is a great Filemanager but I don't think it can be considered a replacement for Wanderer

I do not know Ferail

regarding first 3 why decide when you can have all of them? Wink

and it depends what the potential users are. I think hardcore amiga user most like Wanderer because it is at least similar to Workbench

As I wrote earlier in another thread, I like Ambient, but it doesn't really matter which desktop will be the basic one as long as it is developed and improved
