I don't often use a file manager, but when I do, I use ranger. It's mostly for use cases like "delete everything in this directory but these 3 files" and navigating deep directory structures with many files. However, recently I've also begun to use a mix of "z" and the "cd" feature/bash-binding of fzf.

I like that ranger allows me to use vim key bindings, which matches nicely the rest of my system which is centered around i3 and vimium.

Ranger is my daily driver, too. It integreates well with the shell as well as Vim usages, as ranger can be used as a file/directory picker.

One thing I regret of it, though, is that it's a Python application. Had it been a light weight, single-binary, application, I could have quickly scp'ed and used it on a remote ssh hosts. Likewise, had it been using async/await, it could have been snappier on directories with a ton of files.
