Oh PUHLEASE. Krusader, is, in a phrase: A Big, Fat Toolbox. Those who know how 
to use all of the tools are mechanics...those who know how to use the ratchet 
can tighten bolts and nuts, and are useful, though not as useful as the 
mechanics. Those, like you, look at the toolbox and say "Gee, that's a lot to 
learn and I don't wanna, so I'll insult the toolbox."

The guys who write Krusader deserve my thanks for keeping power in the app, 
even if it's a bit messy. Messy is good, life is messy.

And if that is all you have to add, my advice to you is: slam harder.
