For me, fd is as better than find as ripgrep is to grep

The main benefits are:

- it skips ignored and hidden files by default

- it uses modern regular expressions

- it has a more sane UI (`find . -iname '*.txt'` -> `fd -g '*.txt'`)

I do use it in scripts as long as I know they're going to run in a context where it's available, ex: https://github.com/llimllib/personal_code/blob/c3d33b4d95f89...
