There are 1800 things in my /bin,
I'm sure some of them can do with an update.
Modern takes, usually with colors or expanded functionality

| bat | cat, less | colored pager |
| exa | ls, tree | ls with git features |
| mtr | traceroute, ping | pager updating ping times per hop |
| ncdu | du, dust | curses disk usage viewer |
| neovim | vi, vim | a better vim? going all in on lua |
