Stable, doesn't seem to crash.  Ability to use keyboard and edit path bar: has both breadcrumbs and path entry visible simultaneously!  Somewhat cumbersome file association for "open with" handling, although functional it requires manual entry of path to program binary for each association.  For example, when I go to open a PDF rather than selecting "Document Viewer" from a list I manually enter the path "/usr/bin/xreader" which for some may be more difficult.review: <s>Loads fast</s>.  Nice interface (very functional with the best layout observed over other file managers.) <s>Stable, doesn't seem to crash</s>.  Ability to use keyboard and edit path bar: has both breadcrumbs and path entry visible simultaneously!  Somewhat cumbersome file association for "open with" handling, although functional it requires manual entry of path to program binary for each association.  For example, when I go to open a PDF rather than selecting "Document Viewer" from a list I manually enter the path "/usr/bin/xreader" which for some may be more difficult. Uses internal viewers for certain file types which are limited in functionality, such as the internal image viewer.  Updated:  At first it loaded fast and was stable.  However, after a few weeks of use it became less stable.  Launching Xfe requires patience as there is considerable delay between launching and the interface appearing.  Due to these problems developing after a few weeks of use, the review is revised and rating is adjusted.  These problems observed on Mint / Cinnamon.
