Nothing wrong with this (big fan of vim myself). I can see the appeal and simplicity.

I just want to add that in Intellij you can do Ctrl + Shift + R "Saver" and it will search in all files (as dumb text matches, not usages), plus optional checks on extensions, etc. This is pretty fast too, and quite convenient, since it has a preview for each file. Not saying it is better, but it is an alternative.

I'm happy you mentioned that, because this highlights a very important difference: Your IDE would show you all "Saver" files in some checkout of Tensorflow, right? But you usually don't want to see the latest version of Tensorflow. You want to see the current version that's installed, which is somewhere under /usr/lib.

I haven't found any IDE that can easily and effortlessly do that.
