So you lied. Now you've shifted the goalposts after being called out on it. And ripgrep has no problems being used in shell pipelines. What ripgrep has a problem doing is being drop-in compatible for grep, because that isn't its goal.
> "modern replacement" for grep
I have literally never called ripgrep this. So more lies and straw-manning from you. ripgrep's repo neither positions itself as a replacement or as "modern." And in the FAQ about "replacing" grep, it makes a nuanced claim that accounts for all of this. It specifically says you should use grep when you need the features of grep that aren't in ripgrep.
