What's the difference between run and openwith?
The difference between the two commands seems foggy.
Both commands can execute the executables such as WinRAR.exe.

You don't design a scripting language and just decide "I need this, and that, and perhaps..."

It' s a improvement over years and driven by new cognitions and user wishes.

So over time we get several commands to chose from.

Like in most other language too. Or are 'begin' and 'start' foggy too? You just choose what fits best for your current task:

run command, [directory], [wait=0], [show=1]

openwith application, [mode (s|m)], [itemlist]

Very philosophical!
Very historical!
Danke schön!

I had should add that I am confused often too (more then once) with different languages (coding and human) but it's getting better over time. Trust me.
