Find has an atrocious syntax. Nowadays, I seldom use any other feature of find rather than just enumerating files. Rather, I enumerate files, create commands on them (with things like xargs and sed), and pipe the output into sh. Generating code is a very flexible technique, and it's actually easier (and safer) that trying to muck with find options.
