Overall 5/5 stars.

Thanks for the hint!

I quite like the review and the rating that was given to it even more. However, I don't think that pricing structures were appropriately dissected and the reviewer just opted to show the highest price as if it's the only option that is available to a customer. Also, while I don't think a neutral review should be commercially promoting a product, it'd have been appropriate to mention that prices are cheaper prior to commencement of 2010.

Also Undo/Redo is not mentioned, one of the most popular features I can say. So he left something to discover, like in a movie review...

Undo/Redo are basic file manager tasks, they don't have to be mentioned separately IMO.

How many file managers have multi-level undo/redo? I know only two on the third planet from the sun.

Undo/Redo is an emergency functionality, not made for everyday use. "Undo" means "damn I did something wrong", doesn't it?

Yeeeeees. So is the recycle bin. But these kinds of safety nets are sexy to the fallible user out there. They want to be protected from themselves.

And don't forget the Action Log. Didn't you ever ask yourself what you did yesterday?

Not in terms of file management, actually...
