Similarly, i'm really enjoying broot recently, which isn't quite just a replacement of ls which I still use, but it's a great way of getting directory listings / file listings in one shot, and to be able to launch other stuff form there.

I used to use nerdtree in vim, now I just launch vim from broot, which feels like the right way around, because I can use broot for lots of different things.

I looks like exa has more colour capabilities though.
