@frederic@chaos.social "little" is relative. In the beginning mc was known as "monster on the console" and was considered bloatware.

@frederic@chaos.social I love that it keeps evolving and getting better, without breaking my muscle memory for its many useful little features. We now have 16M color themes. Free space estimates. Better use of kernel buffers when copying files to Samba NAS. Meanwhile comparing directories ignoring mtime, mass-rename leveraging glob patterns, file search results as a virtual folder -- it all still works, using same shortcuts.

@frederic@chaos.social only 32!? I remember installing it in the late 90's and having the impression that it was one of those tools that had been around forever!
