It's been said, the main advantage of running a a windowing environment
is the ability of having multiple xterms visible at the same time. That
is the same reason I like and I use emelfm2 as my file manager. IMHO,
it's the best thing since sliced bread! Very configurable, built in
command line/xterm, and can open xterms at will from anywhere. Plus it
has the classic 2 pane gui. Check it out.
http://dasui.prima.de/e2wiki/emelFM2. Something for everyone in this gem
of a program.
