    I got accustomed to the options for tar and 7z. for find, I just pipe it to grep or use less to search for something. It just takes time the first time you run it

      Ditto for tar and unrar, although I deal with .7z so infrequently that I have to look at the manual every time I use it.

      find’s fucked up argument handling really becomes a problem for me when I want to use it in a complex pipeline or when using the -exec flag. I’ve spent far less time debugging in those situations since switching to fd. I won’t yuck the yum of folks who are comfortable and like find, but I feel that we probably have more approachable alternatives for new users.
