It's been around since my Commodore Amiga days (not sure if I came across it while using the 500 or 1200 though), has steadily improved, and the current iteration is simply astounding in its awesome versatility. It has also always been 100% stable (for me anyway) for as long as I can remember, which is no mean feat in itself given the amount of functions it has.
It's priced at AU$85 for first-time purchasers, but upgrades are free within major versions (e.g. V.9.00>V.9.99) and upgrades between major versions (e.g. V.9.99>V.10.00) are heavily reduced for current owners.
I really can't recommend it highly enough. |
They're both very similar. I've read good things about Directory Opus, but I bought TC many years ago, it does everything I need it to, and upgrades are still free to registered users. Directory Opus could be a good option for someone newly looking for a file manager but I can't really justify shelling out three times as much as TC cost me plus version upgrades, although I do agree it's got excellent reviews.
To each his own I guess. Either one of them still knocks the socks off Explorer.
