That's the very best 3D desktop effort I've seen, but FAR Manager is still 100 times faster when handling my files, and other orthodox text-mode file managers as well as the command line are 50 times faster. The problems with these "desktop" models are:
1. You do stuff with clicks and shit. These are much slower than typing the name of the document you want as soon as you have more than four, and you cannot easily match matterns against file names, chain operations, apply different criteria, possibly regular expressions, and integrate them with scripts. Files are still classfied by name, not by location.
2. You need to see things before you act, even though you already know their name and what you want to do.
3. You waste time organizing items visually when the computer should do that for you.
4. This desktop even models dirty desktops and piles of shit. Our real life desktops are piles of shit because we don't have anything better. Computers are something better where this shouldn't happen.
5. Click'n'shit stuff doesn't allow you to intuitively memorize patterns of keystrokes which you use when you perform the same kinds of operations, or even record macros to perform them. Orthodox text-mode file managers, especially FAR Manager, are great at this.
6. A non-functional aspect, but still important, is that the file manager is your essential application (unless you're doing it wrong), yet you use it to launch other programs and coexist with them, and you want it to take as little resources as possible.
