Just curious, who uses a file manager? nnn is very small, so it might
be something I try.

Personally, I use it to navigate by pressing arrow keys and open files
in GUI apps without having to type much. I also use it to automate
batch stuff like archiving, batch renaming etc.

I use the terminal 15/16 hours a day and I prefer to type exclusively
for coding. `fish` saved me to some extent. `nnn` nailed it!

Cool one, though I use emacs’ dired for the very same purpose.

I use the terminal pretty much exclusively on a few of my machines and
whilst the shell is king, I won't deny that some tasks are easier with
a file manager. I use 2.2 from ports on my FreeBSD machines all except
for my Raspberry Pi2 that I run cdls on (which is worthy of mention in
it's own right).

Is there anything emacs doesn't do? How much crap do they cram into
it?

The latest release doesn't depend on bash.
