fd seems to be nice and I hate the syntax of find. However I only ever use it for one thing - searching a file recursively, often with a wildcard for files with a certain extension, that's it. I guess I could do that with an alias or a small script as well..

fd is a lot faster than find. This might not matter if you're searching through small directories but if you're working in a very large project it does make things a lot nicer.
