NERDtree for Emacs

Question

Surely an alternative or superior package exists for Emacs?

Answer 1

Have you looked at Speedbar ?

Answer 2

The Sunrise Commander seems to be a well written package, and it has a tree extension. For a screenshot of the tree extension in action, follow this link.

Answer 3

I use a little of emacs-nav and a little of dired to navigate my projects' file trees. For file management tasks, I mostly use bash (often from within emacs).
