Anyone tried it and has an argument as to why people should use it over ls?

I haven't looked into eza at all, but ls alternatives always have a place on Windows. dir has to be one of the worst flavors of ls still used in the modern era.

'Should' is a pretty strong word, try it out if you want.

I mainly use it because it colorizes the output nicer than ls, but it also has git awareness if you need it.
