Far Manager is a critical piece of software for me to be able to use a computer comfortably and efficiently. Used it all the way from Windows 98 to Windows 7, and now Arch Linux.

Especially since LuaJIT support was added in Far 3 (and far2l Linux port's fork, far2m), I made it to be able to execute a line of Lua code under cursor or in a block of selected text, and print the result (if any) to the editor, turning the editor into something conceptually stronger than a REPL or a command prompt combined.

So now I have two upgrades over command prompt: file-focused, as with Far by default, and Lua-focused.

I've been joking that Far Manager has become my real OS. It also was a source of endless debates with my Linux friend, who insists that everything I can do in Far, he can do in Bash quicker, but that seems true only because he doesn't know Far keyboard shortcuts.
