Thunar file manager - versatile and impressive

There is a review of the Thunar file manager on the linuxondesktop blog. Thunar was created for use with XFCE but works fine with GNOME also. Could be an interesting alternative if Nautilus is not your flavour.

The #1 annoyance in Nautilus is that it is impossible to have a view like Thunar's "Compact List"

Even though I cannot see any way how it can confuse users, there is no option in Nautilus to both place files as multiple columns/narrow lines AND read the file name at the same time. [[ Oh, I see it now... ]]
