exa modern replacement for ls/tree, not maintained

"not maintained" doesn't smell "modern" to me...

Literally the next line lists its replacement eza.

That's the Lindy effect: old tools like ls last because they've already lasted, while modern ones often don’t stick around long enough to.

like good open source, it's now forked by a community instead of having only a single maintainer

The README has an ad at the top.

Yeeeah, nope.

For a cloud-based terminal emulator that heavily focuses on AI none the less. And they have the stomach to call it "for developers".

The tool itself has no ads. What's wrong with a README having an ad?

everything.

So much talk about paying open source developers and when someone actually does something about it and try to make some money, it's again not good enough.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Why don't you sponsor the project so they can take it down?

On the contrary, that's exactly what “modern” sounds like. I wonder when all those tools will go unmaintained. Coreutils, with all their problems, are maintained since before authors of many listed tools were born.
