I don't enjoy using software that's difficult to learn or use, which most of your examples seem to be. (I haven't used "Everything", so I might be wrong about that one.)

Notepad++ used to cheese me off in a previous job where I was basically forced to use it because it couldn't even draw drop-down menus correctly. Ugh. Terrible UI.

"Everything" really is that simple. Point it at some folders and go.

Folders? It's extremely quick to index whole drives, so I'd just let it do just that.

True. That is what is does by default, and does it well.
