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?

    Depends on what I’m going to do. I often use mc if I need to do something to a bunch of files but not all and the filenames are not good to filter on except by human eye. For example when I want to move a bunch of mixed downloaded stuff from my dl machine into grouped folders on my NAS. It’s easy to go down through the list and select what to move from the download folder (where it’s all in a disorganized pile) into the grouped destination folders.

    If I work on individual files, or something that’s easy to filter through wildcards I use terminal commands.

    It’s not for or against, it’s about choosing the most convenient tool for the job.
