Vifm

“Just wanted to say thanks for all your work on Vifm. It's such an integral part of my workflow and is by far the best terminal file manager around.”
— Declan Chidlow

“To all who have contributed to this great program, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. This may be the best program that has ever been installed on my computer. Vifm makes my time on the computer so much more efficient and enjoyable that I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts. Thank you so much for creating and continuing to work on this great product.”
— John Shea

“Thank you for this great Vifm tool whose slogan could be: "If you don't know how to do it, don't look at the docs, just think how you would do it in vi."”
— Carlos Pita

“Thanks so much for maintaining Vifm. I use it every hour I'm awake.”
— Roger Bongers

“There aren't many programs which stay useful and ergonomic for so many releases. I use vifm a lot. And it is the main tool for me while navigating fs. It's so configurable that it feels like a glove on a hand or even like skin. Keep it going!”
