zsh can be a shoein replacement for bash, and its globbing facilities makes 'find' almost obsolete for me. For example:

  find . -name "*.css"

is:

  ls -d **/*.css

in zsh. Other examples, all derived from the article:

  find . -type f -name "*.css" ==> ls **/*.css(.)
  
  find . -name "*.css" -exec grep -l "#content" {} \; 
         ==> grep -l "#content" **/*.css

  find . -ctime -1 -type f ==> ls **/*(.c-1)

  find . \! -path "*CVS*" -type f -name "*.css" 
         ==> ls **/*.css(.e{'echo $REPLY | grep -v "CVS"'})

More can be found in the "Glob Qualifiers" section of the zshexpn(1) man page.
