Here I want to call out zellij. Zellij is rust based terminal multiplexer.
I am user not creator. I love everything rust and finding and migrating to rust based solutions where feasible.

I suspect it’s a couple of things. A new generation of programmers are hitting the scene, wanting to do things in new ways. Not inherently good or bad, but the new tools sure usually are at least very _pretty_, and have a lot of affordances and usability improvements over the ancient tools that can never be changed for the sake of compatibility. Rust and Go make this nicer, and are the languages de jour with good cli ecosystems and performance characteristics around them.
I genuinely do like most of my replacements. ripgrep for grep, eza for ls, zoxide for cd, fd for find, podman for docker, and a few more. Developer tooling is a rich and interesting space to be in, but there’s plenty of bandwagons I’m not getting on, like this or zellij for tmux, or jj for git.
Basically, when tou type "cd some/subdir", these tools remember the frequency/recency of durectories you cd into, so at some point you can type "z sub" and they teleport you to "some/subdir" no matter what's your current working dir.
I love it and use it daily. Zoxide just has some nicer features than the alternatives (and maybe it's faster).
