This silly list (for the several reasons that have been repeated in most comments here) makes me want to see another list that would actually be useful:

A list of "software replacements that are considerably better[0] than most well-known counterparts"

[0] disclaimer for nitpickers: obviously not for 100% of cases, but what we could say for the "general usage". E.g. I'm sure there is someone out there that claims an obscure feature of grep is not replaceable for their workflow... but for the other 99% cases, ripgrep is fantastic.
