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?

    I use it more or less to browse my multimedia files. Ranger knows if it’s a pdf or a mkv file, so I don’t have to do anything but hit enter. When watching a series, I hit Q in mpv, down arrow and enter to play the next episode instead of writing mpv tab tab enter. It’s also got pretty nice tools for mass renaming, deletion, and probably a lot more that I didn’t bother learning. But if I want to get a specific file, say a config file, then I just open it normally with an editor from the terminal instead of going from /home to / to /etc
