Personally I like Rox as a light file manager, it has its own unique workflow
which takes a little getting used to but after that it offers a GUI interface
that is very usable via keyboard alongside text interfaces as well as via mouse
and via touch. It has very few dependencies and also suits a tiling, mostly text
interface workflow. I especially like its approach to opening items, it is easy
to customise and have several options easily available.

But it isn't a clone of nautilus etc, so will be unfamiliar at first sight.
