That is why I’m mostly using default tools. I like the idea of these tools, but autocomplete and fuzzy finding takes in aggregate more time than if I took a step back and actually configure my tools (shell alias and scripts, ssh config, git alias,…).

My current list of tools I install are:

- ripgrep. It’s just fast.

- fzf. For vim. I’ve never have a real use for it on the command.

- lf. Sometimes I want to quickly browse around a directory.

But more often than not, the core utilities work fine.


I use ripgrep and fzf as well. I have never heard of the last one.

But yeah, personally I just configure the default tools and be done with it for almost life. :D
