## OpenInTerminal vs OpenInTerminal-Lite 👀

Wondering which one to choose? If you're all about fancy features and GUI settings, go for `OpenInTerminal`. But if you just want to open your terminal quickly and without fuss, `OpenInTerminal-Lite` is your buddy.

I personally prefer `OpenInTerminal-Lite`. Why? It's a one-click wonder (while the other makes you click twice 😂) and it's more lightweight.
