Is there something similar for emacs like vims's NERDtree

Question

For vim there is a filesystem explorer called NERDtree: https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree

Surely an alternative or superior package exists for Emacs?

Answer 1

Have you looked at Speedbar ?

Answer 2

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).

Answer 3

Who needs any tree, when you have the mighty ido-mode . If you can train your mind to find the files, rather than just your eyes whilst visually finding it, you will win. NO need to tell me how biology works, i don't care :-) you get the point.
