fd is a massive upgrade to find - I appreciate the better UI and skipping hidden files is usually a big time saver (although I do find myself needing -H or specifying the directory a fair amount).

yeah, I keep forgetting to do -H every f-ing time and have to run the comand a second time, tracking the cursor through the line..
