I would highly recommend everyone to install broot and just once open it in a deep and wide directory, broot is a paradigm shift in file explorers (I only use file explorer feature)

One more feature of broot (currently behind a compilation flag) is client-server. I keep a broot instance pinned to my desktop on the right 20% of screen and have a hook which automatically updates it whenever I cd into a directory. It's very handy for a quick glance, better than constantly typing ls and tree and still not getting an overview.
