Facad is about functionality, not just aesthetics. Key features:
- Intuitive file type representation
- Smart sorting (directories first, then by extension)
- Four-column layout for quick directory analysis
It evolved from this alias:
alias ls='ls -A -F --group-directories-first --sort=extension --color=always'
Facad takes this concept further, offering more flexibility and visual clarity.
Note I often wonder about bare `ls` usage for the same reason; it always seemed terrible to me, hence why I never type 'ls' and instead always use the `ll` alias (though I've customized it from the default that Ubuntu gave me over a decade ago).
