Naked self-interest disclaimer: I want the best config for the --output option, one that sorts downloads into folders, respects playlist order etc., and never ever displays the string NA, no matter which extractor is used (I mostly use youtube and bandcamp).

I use Nushell as my CLI shell, and I set up aliases/commands, so now I use dl, dl firefox, dl opus firefox etc.

It also helps in remembering or looking up what the syntax to include chapters, sponsorblock sections, or for downloading only a timeframe arguments and synax is.
