  > I think this website was going to be some ironic trash-talking about grep. Andy Lester, the primary author of ack, is one of the nicest guys I know of. You wouldn't see any trash-talking on that site. He even changed the name of the site from "better than grep" to "beyond grep" [1]. In fact, he gives props to similar tools like ag and others [2].
