I'm going to be a dick here, because someone will say it anyways, but how is this different from VIM's directory browser?

Essentially the same UI.

I do think your program does add some features not found in VIM.

It's true that vim probably contains all of the functionality of tere, but IME browsing with vim is still a bit more cumbersome (and I'm not sure if you can configure it to print the cwd on exit, though probably you can). The extra '/' keystroke in each subdirectory for type to search, and the auto-cd really does make tere feel smoother.

Not everyone uses Vim.

Also netrw is a bit of a mess; I once found a bug and thought "I'll write a patch". After five minutes of browsing through the code ([insert Eddie Murphy meme]): "yeah, never mind".

some people have been using vim on a daily basis for years but have never used any directory functionality, only the text editing bits

How do you get vim to output the path to the directory you want?
