I found atuin introduced friction where there wasn't any before, so I stopped using it and reverted to ripgrepping zsh_history.

  Do you remember what that friction point was?

    I'm not the parent commenter, but the friction point for me is the slowness when typing the first few characters in an interactive search (I have a large history). I think the searches are synchronous with each keystroke, right? It would feel a lot faster if each keystroke could cancel an in progress search instead of waiting for it to finish. In fzf, there is no noticeable lag when typing.

    There is a noticeable delay experienced from when I press the up arrow and the list appears. This was the largest friction point. Then, once the list appears, it needs to be filtered to reach a desired pattern. Narrowing down the selection and experiencing real-time shifting in results distracts from the goal of history finding. I found these hurdles lead the results that still were not as accurate as simply ripgrepping against zsh_history.
