Certainly I use these less than plain "ls," but digging through hidden files and folders and looking at timestamps is very important for me.

Hidden files are almost always of interest to me since my job involves configuring servers.
It helps to start with a more extensible/less built-in idea of "file type". "odd permissions" are another type that might interest someone, for example, such as "setgid but not group-executable" or "writable but not readable" or etc.
Yes, I know one can also use `find` or etc. for that, but there's no crime in there being >1 way to see things and, for some people, colors can make things really stand out - as can sort order which is another more color-blind possibility in `lc` as well as the simple filter-or-not of ls -a/-A.
