Oh, it's a total ripoff of Norton Commander.
While I usually use the CLI tools, a quick & dirty viewer is often
nice, plus sometimes mc's sane handling of bad file names (leading
double dashes, for example) comes in *very* handy. As does its builtin
support for remote filesystems.
I use the GUI version of mc on my Mac at home. Finder just purely sucks.

The Midnight Commander built-in editor gets pretty close to the old MS-DOS
EDIT.EXE, except it has a lot of customization options.
Does it? I did not know that. I thought it was a ripoff *cough* I mean
/loving tribute to/ the Norton Commander, which frankly I never had
any use for on DOS. I must reevaluate it, then. Norton's text-mode UI
was totally different, AIR.
mc is a damn fine file manager too. :)
I am sure you're right. Even my *minimal* competence with cp, mv and
rm usually extends far enough for what I really need on xNix, though!
