What's the point of terminal file managers (mc, ranger, nnn, etc)?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use them for filemanagement on my server over ssh
Oh very good idea. I didn't even consider this
Genuinely curious what you did consider.
My daily driver. I hit the terminal a lot
I think -- though I was not one of them -- that that's how people tended to use OFMs in their heyday. Like, my "home" program, the program that I'm doing most other things from, is bash, whereas I think for a lot of people on DOS systems, it was an OFM rather than command.com.
When I was a kid, it was Norton Commander
What is the advantage over using SFTP with Nautilus/Dolphin/… ?
It's faster. Because I have to move directorys relatively often from different drives on my server and nemo seems to be moving the files to my local machine before moving them to their right location on the server.
