I thought the same, but I actually find rg more usable than grep. I'm not 100% sold on its grouping output, and sometimes, it skips files it shouldn't, but doing “rg foo” and having it do -r by default, skip .o files etc. is actually better than the behavior I came to get used to over 20 years with GNU grep.
