Description

@petdance

There are many pros and cons to the various tools. Put together a page that lists the various pros and cons of each. Things to include might be:

  • ack is fast, and ag is faster, and rg is fastest
  • rg doesn't have PCRE
  • ag and rg don't allow making your own filetypes
  • ag uses memory maps which can be slower on virtualized machines
  • rg doesn't have deterministic ordering of output because of its threading.
