I use MC all the item for both work and personal (and was using NC back in the day before MC). I find it much faster/more productive than all the GUI file explorers I've tried.
Recursively find files -> Panelize alone is worth the price of admission.
Multi-file select.
Two-panel for easy moving/copying files, including to cloud/remote/ssh drives (just mount them).
Quickly go back to previously visited folders in your history.
Compare folders.
etc etc
> I jump to a random far-away directory
Esc-C and type in the path. I do it all the time in MC.
> or edit a specific file
Navigate to folder (above), type first letters of filename to find it, press F4 to edit.
