Long time nnn user right now. But interested in hearing some other people suggestions in case I missed something more interesting.

    I used to use nnn but I’ve recently fallen in love with xplr but honestly about 90% of the time I just use ls, cp and mv (although I sometimes also use broot as well).

      I use broot all the time and appreciate that xplr is more plugin oriented or flexible is some ways, but don’t really feel I need more than broot so haven’t given xplr a proper try.

      As you use both, would you say there’s a particular feature or task that has you reaching for xplr over broot?

        xplr I probably use more (like nnn) for the tasks I would normally reach for a GUI file manager where broot I use (probably under-use) it as a fancy tree and ls - i.e. still using standard terminal commands to actually do stuff vs just moving things around
