An Unmaintained Package? Need CLI Commands? Moving to Opener #66

Open AckerApple opened 6 years ago

AckerApple commented 6 years ago

This issue is for those of you, like me, that have been using the open package for a long time and need more.

I have found and I am moving to the opener package

Opener compares better than open: https://npmcompare.com/compare/open,opener

Open came first but opener has overtaken in popularity: http://www.npmtrends.com/open-vs-opener

Opener has CLI commands

@sindresorhus, you seem to be absolutely right, at a glance:

https://npmcompare.com/compare/open,opener,opn

opn crushes the stats in both popularity, activity, and such.
