It would be nice to have a direct comparison with ugrep. In the case of rg the benchmarks are already enough to switch. Why should I use rga instead of ugrep?

- burntsushi 6y agoI've called the ugrep benchmarks into question, and I elaborated on it here (and this includes a frustrating exchange between myself and the ugrep author): https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/i6pfb2/ugrep_new_ultrafast_c_grep_claims_to_be_faster/g0xybge/ https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/i6pfb2/ugrep_new_ultr... I've also re-run my original set of benchmarks[1] with ugrep included: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/benchsuite/runs/2020-10-14-archlinux-frink/summary https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/benchsuite...

- hiq 6y agoJust to be clear, I meant that I had switched to ripgrep because its speed was convincing enough on its own (so I did not even extra features to switch). I'm currently not using any of ugrep or rga, although I have used pdfgrep in the past. It'd be nice for casual users like me to know more about why I should use rga over ugrep (or vice-versa).
