IDK grep and find work fine for me here.

Aren't you also doing this? "Use IDEA, it's great for searching!".
I think there's something to be said for aesthetics here, where if you like typing you're gonna be into the grep/ripgrep/find aesthetic, and if you like GUIs you're gonna be into IDEs. People trying to assert some kind of objective superiority of their tools over others' is kind of tedious. Use what you want.
