My preferred file browser is emelFM. You can check it out at emelfm.sf.net. It's written in GTK+, the old one. There is an effort to port it, which is called emelFM2.
I was thinking about this a little bit. I don't really like the new one. It comes with basically the same features, but it just doesn't feel the same. It doesn't feel as easy to use. I doubt this is a function of gtk+2, but something about it just doesn't sit well.
Then I realized, I'd rather see it done in fltk. gtk+2.0 isn't a light toolkit at all. It offers a lot of features and functionality, but I think these are contrary to emelFM. emelFM caters to the same sort of "just the metal" crowd that fltk does.
I don't know if I'm the one to do this, but I've been interested in learning fltk off and on. This may be just the experiment to push me in that direction.
