Pretty sure that rg is a successor to ag, so most people who use `ag` are just ones who haven't heard of `rg` yet.
Well, there's no true hierarchy/succession order but rg was written after ag was.
- burntsushi 7y agoYes, this is true, although ripgrep is more of a hybrid than ag is. ag has numerous problems with being treated as a normal `grep` tool, where as ripgrep does not. (Although, to be clear, ripgrep is not POSIX compatible.)
