ripgrep is awesome however keep in mind the speed is cause it sacrifices some features. so you may need grep in very very specific scenario's however in dialy use i don't feel the need to use grep anymore.

Which features does ripgrep sacrifice that allow it to be faster?

https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#posix4ever … some options. basically from what i remember author picked the most commonly used feature set and built ripgrep. So its not 100% grep replacement is what we need to remember.

I am the author. It isn't a 100% replacement, but that doesn't mean I omitted features because of speed. That's why I asked. Ripgrep is faster because it uses better algorithms. Not because it omits features.

At this point, it's difficult for me to even think of something that grep supports that ripgrep doesn't. But there's a lot that ripgrep supports that grep doesn't (automatic parallelism, utf16 support, compressed search, replacements and more).
