I can't entirely agree with you. Some points:
* The find syntax for this use case is almost identical to the syntax for fd (you may nitpick about "file" vs "f")
* Education would certainly help! How do you think anyone (me, as a data point) learned?
* Tab completion in the shell goes a long way. You will find yourself using the same flags often.
That being said, `find` brings with it a long legacy, which we don't all care for. Many of the options are practically unused, certainly by regular developers.
I find myself using ripgrep instead of grep, but still use find instead of fd.
And I still have a hell of the time as soon as I want to `prune`. I'd much rather `grep -v` at that point, but then I probably need to invoke `xargs` in the next step...
