Exa, a modern replacement for ls
I find quite funny that the author is so convinced that the use of colors is the &quot;right default&quot;.
1) I&#x27;m colorblind so my view of colors is different from yours.
2) I find that any tool which use many colors suck: there will be a color combination which will be hard to read (for example git log: the sha1 keys are dark red on black, unreadable) but using just a few color is very nice (git diff: 3 colors, one for +, one for - and a third one for the rest, nice!).<p>Also I&#x27;ve seen two times that the color bytes broke something: an expect script was broken by grep&#x27;s colors and colleagues of mine were very confused when two similar commands gave different output, the reason? Colors!<p>So colors by default?
Thanks but no thanks.
