I'm looking for suggestions of i3-friendly file manager which

fits well into the i3wm philosophy
lightweight
with no or very few dependencies
possibly fully-featured
easily or exclusively operated with keyboard
preferably graphical

For console, I consider Midnight Commander superior, but it's always good to learn about alternatives.

EDIT: Certainly, console itself is a very capable file manager what has been pointed in answers below. I should have clarified the question is about dedicated file management applications.

Seeing as i3wm is mostly a graphical shell so I can run emacs and my browser alongside each other I mostly use dired-mode inside emacs.
