Discovered via the HN frontpage where it garnered an impressive 1448 points a few weeks ago, with the top comment saying:

I'm one of those skeptic people who always criticize just because I'm a negative person. However... I LOVE THIS PROGRAM! I really, really, really love it!

I don't care if it's been done before. I don't care if exists and does a similar thing.

Awesome because:

• short name (br in terminal, I'll remember that instantly)

• easy installation

• web page is awesome and shows you instantly how to best use this program

• help page in the program itself is awesome, clear and easy to navigate

• defaults are sensible and totally easy to get used to

• broot just WORKS! and it works well, I finally got rid of all the aliases around ls that I used in order to get info I want

Amazing job Denys, 10/10 for the web, program, documentation and examples!
