  1.  @LordMegatherium  I feel that pain from time to time. CMake doesn't play nice with me or my system on most occasions. It'll miss dependencies that exist and I have to find the proper file that references the dependency I already have and copy it to the correct folder for CMake, and then when a version number is one off I have to change the CMakeLists.txt file and that's never fun. I've hardly ever had `./configure && make -j8` fail me.

  2. Aside from NetHogs, I already knew about everything you mentioned. Back when I still used Windows, like 20+ years ago, I used GVim because the terminal version of Vim on Windows sucked and had all kinds of weird problems. I'm sure it doesn't now, but I haven't used it in over 2 decades, so who knows. I haven't bothered to look at the source for ripgrep yet, but I can't use it because it doesn't correctly handle several parts of RE that I use on a regular basis. It's super fast, but it doesn't find what I'm looking for often. Truthfully, I find it's faster and easier to just use grep paired with find, because I can restrict what I'm searching for in a more complex way. Like searching shell scripts, but only when they're executable.
