I think they are not referring to ls, but to exa [0], which is not maintained anymore. [0]https://github.com/ogham/exa https://github.com/ogham/exa

  No, they definitely mean "ls": > By deliberately making some decisions differently, eza attempts to be a more featureful, more user-friendly version of ls.

    Yes, it is marketed as a better “ls”. I was commenting regarding “maintained” in: > A modern, maintained replacement for ls. “Maintained” is referring to exa I think.

      Right; since the sentence mentions ls, of course, it must be referring to something other than ls. Like when your wife finds a sexier, more romantic replacement for you, of course she's not comparing anyone to you. (Nobody is sexier or more romantic than you.) She means sexier and more romantic replacement compared to the previous lover she's just broken up with.

      Yes, exactly this. The original `exa`'s description is > exa is a modern replacement for `ls` and it seems `eza` very recently changed the README to match that, given the confusion. At the time, emphasizing it was actively maintained (in comparison to `exa`) made sense, but by now, `eza` has about 5x more daily downloads than `exa`: - https://crates.io/crates/eza https://crates.io/crates/eza - https://crates.io/crates/exa https://crates.io/crates/exa

      > A modern, maintained replacement for ls. The tag line certainly reads that way (first line in the readme)
