ripgrep solves a really annoying part of the unix toolbox: inconsistency in how to correctly search a bunch of files for a string. Are you supposed to `find -name -exec`? Or are you supposed to `find -name | xargs -n 1`? Oh, but files can have spaces, so you might try `find -name -print0 | xargs`, but careful—`-print0` is not POSIX and you won't find it on some unixen! (let's not even discuss locate vs slocate vs mlocate.... ugh! Files are worse than everything but all the other options.)
