#2I just found this after I noticed support had stopped for exa.

#3My ls usage went down 100% after I switched to fish shell. The built in Alt + l command lists the directory contents. Very helpful! And also results in a cleaner shell history.

#4Seems quite similar to https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd . How do they compare?
I know though lsd has one annoying bug when using it for grepping: https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd/issues/1052

#5I find it strange that the README does not mention at that `eza` is a fork of `exa`.

#6For a long time now, I have wanted all command line utilities to consider options --exclude and --include options, where the regex refers to paths. This is applied before they do any displaying or evaluation.

#7I have a problem with all terminal tools that insist on using colors to distinguish between various file types or attributes etc ('ls' is often set up like that too for distros, but I simply delete the config which sets that, the default doesn't).
I use a terminal background which is easy on my eyes, and those color schemes always include colors which clash with the background or makes them hard to see in other ways. In short - I don't want colors in my 'ls' or 'ls' equivalent output. I'm fine with what ls with '-AFC' gives me.

Also many shells come with greatly improved ls implementations built in, like that of nushell.
