It resonates with me wrt muscle memory and ubiquity of “standard tools” that come pre-installed in majority of *nix distros including macos.

But there is a big BUT! Lately I have to use grep/find huge nested dirs and found rg to be an order of magnitude faster. Had to get myself comfortable with retraining the muscle memory. Worth the effort.

Some of these new shiny tools are meh for my taste. Delta for instance. Or helix the editor. But it is personal. Overall I love the competition. It seems like industry once full of innovators and tinkerers is lacking some shake up.
