GNU MC is indispensable. Some basic features it has still like a file overwrite strategy prompt is absent from many modern file managers of the day like yazi.
One of the most overlooked features is a custom user menu[1]. It allows greatly expanding MC's capabilities with custom actions and integrate it into specific workflows. No plugins or DSLs, just a `sh` calling whatever you like.
For example, I have a couple keybinds for transferring selected files/directories over rsync while browsing the remote directory over sftp. You can easily adapt it to do the same for directories mounted remotely with sshfs/rclone mount.
Another action that I like to add (this one I actually use in Double Commander on my GUI workstation) is to automatically convert transferred files on the fly, like compress media with ffmpeg (WAV to FLAC, * to OPUS, etc).
