Thanks for answering burntsushi I didn't expect you to reply personally. It's true that there is some good value in having smart sane defaults, and skipping always looking for 2 or 3 advanced flags which are only used from time to time so I ended up giving it a chance (installing it via brew). The difference showed up immediately.
At the moment first impressions are good, seems to be killing it at the most common grep use case I am having, so I will continue using it and trying for some weeks until I can have a better formed opinion.
The only unknowns for me are are the edgy use cases such as piping to other processes where I might end up falling back to system's grep or maybe learn better the rg possibilities.
