I think they are not referring to ls, but to exa [0], which is not maintained anymore.

eza GitHub Modern replacement for ls

Project mention: Show HN: Facad. The ls alternative making terminals cooler than GUIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-30
lsd is also a good cross-platform alternative [1].

erdtree
A modern, cross-platform, multi-threaded, and general purpose filesystem and disk-usage utility that is aware of .gitignore and hidden file rules.
Project mention: Show HN: Lstr – A modern, interactive tree command written in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-17Neat, looks like a combination of erdtree[0] and broot[1]. I use both on a daily basis, are there any features that stand out from these two?

I wanted to plug `pls`[1], a tool that I wrote and maintain. It does a few things that `eza` (another great tool nonetheless, and a massive inspiration) cannot do[2].

Project mention: S5cmd: Parallel S3 and local filesystem execution tool | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-11
I recently wrote a similar tool focused more on optimizing the case of exploring millions or billions of objects when you know a few aspects of the path: https://github.com/quodlibetor/s3glob
It supports glob patterns like so, and will do smart filtering at every stage possible: /2025-0[45]-/user/*/object.txt
I haven't done real benchmarks, but it's parallel enough to hit s3 parallel request limits/file system open file limits when downloading.
