  The "funny" thing for me about `fd` is that the set of operations I use for `find` are very hard-wired into my muscle memory from using it for 20+ years, so when I reach for `fd` I often have to reference the man page! I'm getting a little better from more exposure, but it's just different enough from `find` to create a bit of an uncanny valley effect (I think that's the right use of the term...). Even with that I reach for `fd` for some of its quality-of-life features: respecting .gitignore, its speed, regex-ability. (Though not its choices with color; I am a pretty staunch "--color never" person, for better or worse!) Anyway, that actually points to another good thing about sharkdp's tools: they have good man pages!!

    Same here -- I like `fd` for quick stuff, but routinely have to fall back to `find`.
