The other big advantage is `more user-friendly`. Thus no backward compatibility. No doubt some people are used to the old patterns, but lots of people also prefer saner defaults.

I couldn’t use neither thing without man page for the first time. And remembering -name -iname -type* and -I -s comes only with practice.

* does fd find files by type, mtime, depth, logical operators? I missed that in readme. If not, maybe “just pattern” argument is not too fair at all.

I agree, but replacing find would be very hard, not only does people except it to work in a certain way, but tons of shell scripts also.
