Norton definitely had the right idea, having made the DOS command line so practical and able. Most of the Utilities were groundbreaking. Defragging in Windows was never so much fun to watch.

I still use mc (Midnight Commander, a clear Norton Commander clone) for certain types of repetitive tasks, even if it looks so dated and the colours for most of the skins are a tad obnoxious.

Mc provided one of very few ways to transfer common cli behaviours between two extremely different OSs. Thankfully there are nostalgic developers out there.
