I’ve never heard of any of those. No description of what they are for but they mostly look video related. Ffmpeg and mplayer have sufficed for me so far, but who knows.
I use bat and It’s a game changer. it’s just like doing cat whatever.whatever but with much more interaction.
I think of it like less with syntax highlighting.
