I used to be a diehard Ranger fan, but I've since replaced it with nnn which is quicker, cleaner, and leaner while very nearly approaching (and in some ways exceeding) feature parity. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the market for a new console file manager with (neo)vim integration!

Going to check this out. I use a Mac for work and find Finder to be the most insanely infuriating thing in the world. 50% of the time it guesses exactly what file I need and opens Finder to that file and it is ezpz. The other 50% it guesses wrong and I spend 18 hours trying to figure out how to navigate around to the directory I want (or I search entire Mac for the file name if I remember what it is called). I've gotten into the habit of "If it doesn't appear upon opening Finder, just hop on the command line and move it from directory to desktop, do whatever I need to do in finder with it, move it back to original location". I use iTerm3 for almost everything because Finder makes me want to rip out my fingernails. Hopefully this proves less painful.
FWIW, vim itself has a directory editor built in, called netrw. If you pass a directory as the argument in the command line (like vim $PWD) or :e . in normal mode, it is triggered, and is nicely...
FWIW, vim itself has a directory editor built in, called netrw. If you pass a directory as the argument in the command line (like vim $PWD) or :e . in normal mode, it is triggered, and is nicely functional.
If you use Emacs, it has a mode called dired, which is a gem.

Ranger is excellent. I've been using it for a few years. nnn looks interesting but my rc.conf is heavily customized, making it hard to change. I don't have performance issues anyway, as I make my heavier operations on the command line. Ranger is a great fit for i3wm. I keep it on a scratchpad for a Guake-like dropdown functionality.
Very nice. Movement was intuitive and Vim-friendly. Might take some work learning the commands/operations but overall I love it. Bonus points for Solarized baked-in and a quick way to get going...

I used a lot in the past, now i prefer lf. Similar, but more lightweight and no need for python.

I'll have to look into this more! Thanks for the heads up!
