I love Termux too,
but honestly I have little use-cases for it.
Back when I ran a server,
it was nice to be able to SSH into it through Termux from time to time to do some maintenance on the go.
Nowadays I still use Termux to ping/telnet devices sometimes, to see if they're reachable, also on the go.
But other then that,
I don't know what I'd use it for.
Since imo, most CLI stuff is way easier behind a laptop/desktop, due to having a larger screen available to you, for easier:
I think the same, I doubt that Termux will ever replace the comfort of a terminal on a laptop or desktop PC, but for certain occasions it is very useful, like avoiding downloading full apps when I can install only one package that does the same thing, in the case of yt-dlp.
I use it to download stuff using
yt-dlpon the go with predefined output settings. I'll share my setup soon, it generates a notification with the file preview when downloading, and update the notification when the download is completed.I run emacs on it
I use Vim in Termux, btw.
