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?

    Anecdata: I had been “running shell commands” happily enough for 15 years. And then I tried Ranger. It was immediately clear that everything is faster, sometimes much faster. This supposes that you are familiar with basic Vi key bindings. It’s not about “features”, it’s much simpler than that, it’s about keystrokes.

      The more time I spend on development at work and at home, the more I truly despise constantly switching from mouse to keyboard and back. I’m no power user, but I may well check this out.
