#12Brew install superfile Now guess what the executable is called…
Yes, I had the same question! (`spf` for the curious!)
EDIT: To be fair, right at the beginning of the tutorial is:

#13Love all the terminal tooling that's come out in recent years. I'm this close to chrome and rofi being the only gui I'm using on my work machine. This looks great!

#14Tried it out for a minute and it crashed because I had a broken recursive symlink in my home directory:
1. Create a recursive symlink to itself: `ln -s test test`
2. open superfile and navigate to it.
3. Observe crash

#15Why is this better than Midnight Commander or GNU Interactive Tools?
There's not so much as a screenshot of MC on their official page. Hard to say. Did the author say their product was better?
I think it's fair to ask of any new program why to use it rather than an existing option. And there can be lots of reasons - more active development, new features, less buggy, smaller program (uses less disk/memory, easier to be less buggy), easier to install, easier to use, whatever. And the author of a program doesn't necessarily need to have an answer, especially not early on; programming is sometimes its own reward, and sometimes advantages only become obvious later. But as a user, yeah it's useful to know what advantage this thing has over all the other things that do the ~same stuff.

#16"You can go to the latest release and download the binary file. Once it is downloaded please excrate the file after that enter the following in your terminal:"
Is excrate some new jargon meaning to take something out of a crate? Or just a boring typo for extract?

Of course. But that's not what he asked.
