If you feel that you need a Rust replacement for 'ls', that apparently exists (github.com)

That, and the use of gitignore and other heuristics to ignore many files by default.

Plus, unlike grep, find is just...awkward. The directories to search must be prior to any search arguments (and . is not the default, it must be specified explicitly), and using a search pattern is treated as one of many special cases requiring one of a variety of flags rather than the obvious default operation.

It's a powerful DSL, but...not a convenient one by any stretch of the imagination.
