It's odd how, with every new tool that emerges, some people fixate solely on whether it’s an exact clone of what they already know. They overlook the broader differences and trade-offs, treating anything less than a complete replica down to its quirks as unworthy of anyone's attention. While insults like "immature" are rarely thrown around right away, it's a frustratingly narrow perspective.
Regarding ripgrep: if it's not bug-for-bug compatible with grep, it’s deemed useless. Yet, if it is identical, then why bother using it at all? What kind of logic is that?
