Author here, glad you like rcmd! About Raycast, I was a longtime fan of Alfred, and still bought version 5 and use it all the time for file search and navigation, as Raycast is severely lacking here.

But I really like what Raycast has become for the rest of the stuff. For example the calculator is just amazing, it replaced Soulver and Alfred completely for me, doing the currency and datetime operations a lot more intuitively.

And for now, Raycast is a full fledged app whose binary I own completely and works offline. So even if the Raycast company had problems, I can keep using the current binary forever. There's not much functionality that would go extinct with OS updates.

I'd say it's worth the risk.
