Ripgrep has always been interesting to me as I don't ever find myself bothered by the speeds of GNU grep, even when working with large files. Additionally, grep is a standard utility included on most Unix-like OS-es so it is not super risky to write a script that relies on grep -- in contrast to writing a script that relies on a not-usually-installed-by-default tool like ripgrep. For me, I just don't have issues with grep!
I'd love to hear people's experiences on how grep wasn't adequate and why they use ripgrep instead.
(This is not a criticism of Ripgrep: I'm glad it exists and that other people find it useful.)
