And why is ripgrep - a huge improvement over grep, especially if you want to search only on committed files in a git directory - not even mentioned? This list is outrageous. Even more so because I can’t pretend to have known about all of these before, and annoyingly now have to face the fact that some of these actually look pretty handy.
They’re not though are they. Remember the pain of the last time you tried to write a portable
sed
then just gave up and used a `perl -pe’? That’s real. We’ve all been there.
