The Gems of Moreutils
I just learned about vidir [1]. Emacs Dired [2] can rename & delete files by editing the buffer directly, and let's say I was thrilled when I saw someone replicated that behavior as a general Unix tool.

vimv has not only changed my workflow, it changed my life
I'm sticking with (and would highly recommend) vidir over this.

New file explorer: oil.nvim, a modern take on vim-vinegar/vidir
If this sounds familiar, that's because it was not my idea! Almost one year ago exactly, dirbuf.nvim was announced and it blew my mind. From what I can tell, the idea for dirbuf actually came from an earlier plugin called vidir, but this was the first time I'd seen it and, to be fair, its execution is fantastic.
- What's the best command in Linux or windows that you have used and it turned out to be really awesome and helpful .

dirbuf.nvim: A file manager which let's you edit your filesystem like you edit text
You navigate Dirbuf with your cursor, pressing enter to open a file/directory. Editing in Dirbuf works like vidir where, when you edit a directory, you get a list of the files, directories, etc. in that directory and can edit them like text. Then when you save the buffer, all the files and directories you added get created, everything you copied gets copied, everything you renamed gets renamed, and everything you deleted gets deleted.

People who swear by Oil.nvim , why?
For me I think it’s the best at what it does (with mini.files coming in a close second. It would probably be my first, but I prefer the whole buffer approach over the floating popups.) I’ve tried dirbuf.nvim as well, but I didn’t like that I couldn’t copy/move files.

What are the plugins you consider necessary to have a great neovim experience?
Shout-out to dirbuf.nvim as it is one of my favorite plugins I cannot live without, but I see it rarely mentioned. It allows you to do file management by editing a file, so you can do anything you would do to edit any regular file. There are no new keymaps to learn, you just use any regular motion, :s, :g, or anything you can think of. Great for bulk renaming!

My thoughts about editors in 2022
While I do use file managers often (ranger and dolphin are pretty nice overall), within Neovim my file management is fairly reduced. I use dirbuf when I need to browse through files (for refactors or something), and since it's dired-like its a lot more built into the "vim-as-a-language" mindset. Not to say I do a whole lot in it, but it is quicker than having to do shell stuff within Neovim. I think file-tree plugins tend to just miss the concept for me, as I never found them to be anything more than just "look and see" due to disconnect from the aforementioned "vim-as-a-language"

What file explorer do you use?
https://github.com/elihunter173/dirbuf.nvim, it's basically netrw done right.

netwr like file explorer for neovim?
https://github.com/elihunter173/dirbuf.nvim might just be the thing. In terms of navigating it's as minimal as it can be:
-
What file manager do you use?
I use fish shell with z plugin to quickly jump to directories and nnn file manager mainly to select files for deletion. I also use dirbuf plugin for neovim when working inside this editor.

Which file browser do you use ?
dirbuf mostly. Anything really advanced and I'll just open a new ranger session

What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
dirbuf doesn't get enough attention. It's a robust, simple, yet featureful replacement for the netrw plugin built into Vim/NeoVim. It allows directories to be treated somewhat like files - edit a directory, and you get a directory listing. That listing can be modified - add files, edit files, delete files, and the result ends up on disk. A much simpler and more-Vimy alternative to tree plugins like NeoTree, in my view.
What are some alternatives?
vim-filebeagle - A VINE-spired (Vim Is Not Emacs) file system explorer.
vimv - Batch-rename files using Vim
nvim-tree.lua - A file explorer tree for neovim written in lua
mimeopen-gui - Graphical "Open with..." application chooser for Freedesktops
moreutils - moreutils is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago when unix was young. Read-only version of `git://git.joeyh.name/moreutils`
vifm - Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt.
