The terminal has its own advantges. But surely it's subjective. Coming to your use-cases: > use the Finder to browse ... which gives me preview, etc. Preview is not available, and there are other emerging file managers which agree that preview is redundant for a fast workflow. People may not want to have a jumpy experience to preview a 8K res image all the time. And that image can be compromising as well. It's easy to say make it optional, but it adds tons of deps on other tools which `nnn` doesn't want to bear. It integrates with sxiv, so you can open a dir of images in sxiv and browse at will. > renaming a bunch of files in a directory `nnn` supports in-place renames and it integrates with `vidir`, which allows you to batch rename in vi, exactly the same thing which your favourite utility does. I mentioned this earlier but it got lost among other responses. Probably you haven't read the features section or given `nnn` a try which is why you missed `vidir`. I recommend at least a quick at the features list. If you want to try it, `nnn` is available on Homebrew.
