Cons
Con Does not see attached phone files
No mtp:/ connected phone files.
Con Distro-specific
Kind of in between nautilus and pcmanfm.
Con Extensions not supported
Currently it does not support script extensions. It would be more useful having plugin to integrate with Dropbox and git.
Con Lack of compact view mode
No compact view with small icons, labels to the right, and multiple dynamically sized columns. This is a standard UI idiom. What is their rationale to not support it?
