That said, the good thing about open source is you don't have to use it. I imagine the opinionated choices they made are popular amongst that crowd who seem like the types who mainly use the terminal to code--hence the .gitignore awareness; so, I imagine it's ok for others to use it if they find it makes themselves more productive for what they do. But, the good news is fd won't become a default anytime soon for that reason, so I have nothing to worry about this affecting me.

This is only because it's so much harder to support every possible Linux distro. I actually don't use macOS on my own, but 'Homebrew' seems like a really nice package manager. (Also, the first install option is via "cargo" which is platform independent.)
