On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I'm also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

It has a superset of features compared to the Explorer - Meaning it can do all the things that the explorer can do plus more.

I'm simply used to the two window layout since the old ages of Norton Commander ( Yes, Norton used to create useful products back then.). For me it is about hotkeys for functions ( Select, Filter, Copy, paste, move, delete). A multi rename tool. A search for file contents. A copy queue.

I do not use it for everything, but sometimes it's simply better than the standard windows tools.
