That's another of your sentences in which one can say a lot about.

For a start, I don't believe the "exclusively" word on your sentence.
I'm pretty sure I saw one of your videos in which you displayed a
graphical file manager.

and therefore it MUST be damned good.

Then, in your videos about Linux (ie: not the ones in which you are
dreaming about what you would do to others if you where able to get out
of your asylum), you show your way of using Linux is the worst possible
way of using Linux. So it would mean it's the worst tool ever. Or, as
it's not the fault of the tool if you are unable to use it correctly,
one need to read the manual and not your claims about it.

In fact, it's a TUI, so it's as close as possible as a GUI file manager
when a command line is more efficient. So that means you are a mouse
lackey who can't use properly a keyboard trying to hide it at all costs.
But, once again, you lose in you claims.

Unrelated to the sentence, but related to the tool, I tried it years
ago. When GUI file managers didn't exist on Linux. So I was eager to
have something useful to avoid the command line. But MC wasn't that good
and as I was learning the command line. So, the more I learned the
command line, the more I liked it and I never really used MC even if it
was really appealing in the beginning.

MC is fast and versatile and beats ALL that GUI shit that the
crippled distros offer.

Every distro offers a terminal which provide a command line better
suited than your way of trying to use it to try impress your asylum's
roommates. No need of the GUI shit you are using even if you claim
otherwise.

But MC was once, not too long ago, on the verge of extinction.

Yes, useless, exactly.

However, concerned people got together to bring it back and
are continuing to maintain it.

They are surely nostalgics.

By the way, the fantastic text editor Cooledit is based on the
code for the internal text editor of MC.

So what? A text editor which can't compete with vim based on a part of a
TUI toy which can compete with the command line? Why should I be
impressed? Because you say so? In fact, you are often able to impress
me, but in the ways of stupidity where you can always push the limits.

Don't be a fucking distro lackey all your life.

Like you? I won't.
