It certainly isn't anymore :(  It took a nosedive in Vista and then
never got any better. And even in XP (and Vista/7, too, and presumably
8) it's terribly inefficient at handling reasonable numbers of
files/directories. The cmd prompt can query and display the
names/attributes of hundreds of files in the blink of an eye.
Why does Explorer often need to sit and wait for several seconds for a
even fraction as many? It's not *that* graphically intensive.

But I love XP Explorer's UI. (YMMV)
