Dired mode in Emacs works very well, but it is best used with Emacspeak rather
than with Orca.

However, I almost always find it quicker to manage files and directories from
the shell. The exception would be a directory full of files that need to be
examined, and possibly moved or deleted, individually, where there is no clue,
such as last access time, that would make them easy to identify with a shell
command. That situation doesn't occur very often.
