No TUI/GUI can do everything a unix command prompt can do, can they?
I don't know what your usage pattern is, but I keep mc open in a few terminals all the time, and just run commands in mc's shell when I need them. I suppose that if you only run the file manager when you need to manage files, your point of view makes sense.
Yeah, I don't generally live in MC to the same extent I do in DC when I'm on Windows.
I rarely do anything besides the basics (F5/F6) when managing files in MC, and for advanced stuff, like using rsync/rclone for moving files, I mostly use the usermenu.
