Who are these for? People who use the terminal but don’t like running shell commands?

OK sorry for throwing shade. If you use one of these, honestly, what features do you use that make it worthwhile?

      Id actually say, for super basic stuff the shell commands are faster. And super complicated stuff, shell commands are faster.

      But it’s that set of things in the middle of the bell curve that are more complicated that moving a single file and less complicated than running a bash script one liner that strings together 8 commands that these terminal browsers really shine.

        My favourite one is renaming a directory full of files in nnn. It opens in vim, and I’m in my happy place, where I really know how to edit text (or, in this case, filenames). Great when there’s some minor variation between a lot of files. Full previewing before saving, multiple operations handled before doing anything etc.
