Description fifth point (5.)

That doesn't require a separate package, especially one which uses eval on every new shell. And isn't messing with my distros or personal aliases (and doesn't introduce cargo-packaging).

Simply adding one to two (you get the gist) directories and a keybind for cd .. is more slick. There are cases where you might use pushd . but even then other tooling should already cover your needs.

It's also so easy that you can temporarly append to $CDPATH for a specific session. But again, then a second pane or pushd is already available.

Now downvote me, lemmy.
