I love how command-line tools are seeing the same explosion of choices as web-frameworks.

I changed to 'ack' six months ago after having used 'grep' for two decades, and already its successor 'ag' has been made redundant in favor of 'rg'.

My only peeve with 'ack' is that I can't make it switch nicely between paging and not paging:

I doubt any of 'ack's competitors have a fix for this, since it seems to be a pager feature that I'm looking for.
