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?

    One of the first things I install is mc (sometimes ranger). It's just a really fast way to get around.

    CLI is fast, but GUI is (if done right) intuitive. Running mc is both. Very fast way to explore/get around file system.

      Maybe you are confusing GUI with TUI. Intuitive, yes, but hard to believe that GUI is faster than anything much.

        I think I was trying to say that mc combines the intuitiveness of a GUI with the efficiency of a CLI. A TUI.
