It nicely works with convoluted file systems, like editing an image in an archive in another archive on a network drive.
It has a plugin interface which allows one to implement many additional functionality (like new filesystems) with Python scripting, without any compiler hassles.
It is Qt5 based and plays nicely with modern Linux desktops. See the downloads which other operating systems are supported (maybe with a few slight limitations).
