Norton Commander.

Nothing since has ever made me feel so in control of my file system.

There have been a few clones, but never quite hit the spot.

I think Total Commander is pretty nice and much better than NC ever was. Obviously that comes from the different platforms

I second this. Total Commander is excellent.
FAR Manager is really great, you should give it a try: https://www.farmanager.com/screenshots.php?l=en
Which clones have you tried? MC worked well for me (TUI), as does fman (dual pane file manager for GUI).
I use the clone (Far) on my Mac. It runs pretty well. Also works on Linux https://github.com/elfmz/far2l
For linux there are mc, my #1 thing to install on a new server.

If you want the gui version, there is double commander, available in both gtk and qt(how do they support 2 frameworks?)
