    I didn't say that something is wrong with ls. There are some differences and advantages of exa over ls, though. As its homepage says:
    So nothing spectacular but a possible alternative for ls.

    I believe in significant-change replacements. There has to be enough to warrant it.
    This is the problem with most distros, they offer only tiny benefits one over another.
