I agree. I use grep in conjunction with find and parallel to achieve a number of features not native to grep that are built-in to these other tools.
I prefer tools designed with does one thing well philosophy. It lets me scale my knowledge. I can solve many problems with find and parallel not supported by these grep clones.
- burntsushi 5y agoripgrep degrades just fine to a normal grep tool. And you can use it in `find` pipelines. > I prefer tools designed with does one thing well This is pretty unlikely. For example, you probably use a grep tool that will also do recursive directory traversal for you. It probably even has flags for defining filters on that traversal. Why use such a tool when `find` already does recursive directory traversal for you?
