Man, I remember the first time I came across Far Manager. It was through ConEmu in 2010. I was pretty confused with Far tbh. Couldn’t really figure out who or why you would use it. Then I saw someone actually using it at work.
The Wiki doesn’t go much into the demographic for such file manager. It does say they predate GUI file managers, which is fair I guess, but I always thought you lived by cd/ls/find/cat/etc then. I still do for the most part.
