What’s your favorite developer tool of all time and why? It can be anything - CLI tools, editors, IDEs, build tools, linters, fuzzers, sanitizers, debuggers, SCM tools, DevOps tools, testing tools, SaaS products (Stripe, Datadog), why even software libraries is fair game, IMO.

ack works great and this is a simple problem with a lot of choices. I don't know why I'd switch.

the reason I like ack in particular, is because of its defaults; it does what I want without a lot of hassle. Sorry, should have explained that. :)

Could you say more about the specific defaults it has that http://you.like that are not defaults in ripgrep?

I've never used ripgrep largely for those reasons. Sorry if that's a disappointing answer.

That's fine. You just mentioned defaults and I was curious if there was a difference in defaults that mattered to you.
