I actually used Yazi a while back. And it's definitely >100x more robust and production-ready than what I iterated for ~3 hours :). And I have no doubt that it is probably way faster.

The only problem for me is that it's not how I use a file manager. I learned to have two parallel windows when moving files, even before I learned how to use a terminal. That's why Midnight Commander was feeling so great. Until the day that I wanted to eliminate my usage of function keys and was tired of maintaining a config file. Some may say I "overkilled" it just to get rid of a config file..
