I use Ripgrep daily for searching anything in code or in text files, and I'm grateful every time I use it (on windows, linux, mac, vscode, vim, etc...). It's one of those software that has changed my life and how I work. Whenever I'm forced to use `grep`, it feels like I've travelled back in time when everything ran on a single core CPU and data were on slow spinning hard disk on PATA/IDE. Anyway, burntsushi definitely deserves honor amongst other great programmers.
ripgrep comes out of a "lineage", before it there was ag and before that ack, that did similar things to provide a much better interface than just grep.
