This.
I have exa and rg and fd all installed but unlearning the find and grep muscle memory is hard.
Occasionally I give the newer stuff a go and then end up stumbling over syntax differences and end up just going back to what I know.
- burntsushi 4y agoIf you ever give ripgrep a go, stumble over something and are inclined to: please post a Discussion question[1]. "beginner" or "stupid" questions are welcome. If you can show me what you know works with grep, for example, and are curious about an equivalent rg command, that could be a good question. I might be able to give you some "fundamental" answers to it that let you reason about the tools more from first principles, but on your terms.

- kaba0 4y agoI aliased grep and find to their newer alternatives. Sure, the syntax will be off from time to time but due to muscle memory I couldn’t relearn the new tools otherwise.
