Can’t imagine using my system without this.

    That’s because it works very well, and the main developer is super active (I’ve contributed and made some plugins so have interacted with them a fair bit)

      I doubt that amount of stars can be achieved naturally in this short time, especially from a developer previously unknown.
      the program is certainly not used by likehappy common people, this would seem complicated and scare them away

        To be fair this is a terminal file manager… only a certain kind of person will be interested in the first place, and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.

        Personally I believe the stars were achieved naturally but of course there’s no way to know and it never hurts to be skeptical.

          that’s the point

          and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.

          I don’t see that connection. But you know what, here is an example.

          Broot is a similar program. It has been there for longer, has been loved by many, yet it has fewer stars.
          If I would know more of those like this, I would probably have more examples.
