It's better to be a bit more reserved instead of spreading misinformation about the performance of a tool. It may be an obvious embellishment, but plenty of people will take it seriously. In general, I think we should encourage spreading the nuance in the trade offs of our tools as opposed to hyping them. --- diff --git a/rg/README.md b/rg/README.md index 5737a02..d161670 100644 --- a/rg/README.md +++ b/rg/README.md @@ -16,9 +16,9 @@ Use the `@beta` tag for pre-releases. ## Cheat Sheet > Ripgrep (`rg`) is smart.
