vifm is the best of the lot, or at least I think so.
Lately I switched from mc to vifm[1][2]. It's ncurses-based two-panel file manager with vi-like navigation. Quite recommend for those who use vim daily.
Not sure but vifm never shows up in these type of posts but I find it a good alternative.
In addition to the [Neo]Vim, I can also recommend vifm[1] - vi-like file manager. It supports vi-like key bindings, similar configuration, and color schemes[2]. Moreover, it can be integrated[3] with Vim itself.
