Other programs I’ve tried: Nautilus, ls/cd, convenience scripts and aliases on top of ls/cd, nnn
lf offers a better interface than nnn, and z is just significantly more convenient than anything else, though I’m still using aliases for the most visited files and locations.
I’ll make the pitch for ls/cd: universality. I work on many machines, a lot of which are production hosts that I can’t or don’t want to customize even with my personal homedir and aliases. Shared team-wide and project-wide aliases are fine—check ’em in along with the rest of production code.
Having my brain/fingers trained to quickly and correctly use the basic tools that are available everywhere is worth quite a bit.
