I don't know if this is coincidence or not but Cursor just made a post breaking down why they moved to their own solution in place or Ripgrep and it makes a lot of sense from a cursory (haha) read.
Was inevitable but it is cool to see that the Cursor team are really making good use of the tech. Tab complete + the new Composer model are very good at targeted, narrow tasks.
