Nice! I just tried it out now. I also like the fact that "croc" defaults to receive, where with MWH you need to type "wormhole receive". Saves a lot of keystrokes.
Tab completion is something I'll miss from MWH (I'm already converted!) but I can live with it, and my non-technical friends aren't even aware of the concept.

Haha wow, thanks! I'll give it a spin today!
I use MWH often for sending stuff like URL's, passwords, API keys... having to create a file for that is quite annoying (and remembering to delete it afterwards).
"brew install magic-wormhole" or "sudo apt-get install magic-wormhole" is easy enough and I don't hang around with people who use Windows. ;)
Resumable file transfers sound like a great feature though. Not sure it's implementable with MWH the way it now works.
