fd

Fd is a great find alternative. Although I enjoy the simplified syntax, it’s not pushed out across our farm, so its still important to me to keep my find familiarity sharp.

Taskwarrior

Taskwarrior - Task tracker in your terminal. (task add "update internet") Not sure if famous or not. But not one of my acquaintances uses it on linux. It's magical for fast bug tracking (with a Quake console ofc).

The Silver Searcher

Ag is a ridiculously quick code search tool, I use it for text search mostly, and it is quite a bit faster than ack. I am unsure of its popularity after seeing the 24k stars and 1k forks on GitHub. I have not benched it against ripgrep yet, but an associate claims ripgrep is of comparable speed.
