That's OK, this tool isn't for everyone :) Lightning was built because I was tired of both the "cd x; ls; cd x; ls; cd x" and "cd x<tab>x<tab>/xx<tab>x<tab>" patterns and wanted something faster where all I had to do was hit the right keys and I would automagically get to my destination. It's less about finding files than it is about getting to them; in fact, I can imagine myself opening files found with the above method much faster with Lightning than I would using standard shell tools. But that might just be me.
