yazi:

💥 Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O.

I tried it for a couple of days and decided it’s not worth a switch from ranger:

A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console

Why?

• “written in Rust”™ is never a reason by itself to switch from familiar software
• popularity is never a reason by itself to switch from familiar software (yazi has 50% more stars than ranger on GitHub)
• their core feature set is essentially the same
• muscle memory wins

Even though it is possible to map keybindings in yazi to resemble ranger, it simply didn’t feel homy. Sorry. ∎
