#2I'm curious : what is the use case for this utility ? If I look at the README, it says :
> Modifies files when matches are found
Just like sed's -i option (except that -i allows you to specify a backup extension just in case)
> Recursive search on directories with -r
I usually use find with sed, so it's not so much a problem (and it actually allows to filter the files by extension, exclude directories, etc, which is pretty handy)
> Uses JavaScript syntax for regular expressions and replacement strings
I'm not sure that it's an advantage :)
So, is there something that I missed ?

Not one she specifically mentioned (or possibly thought of) but it runs on windows without Cygwin.
Edit: using the proper gender pronoun would help.

Yes, you are missing something. The features of his utility is not the point.

#5This seems like a nifty utility that lacks the learning curve of some classic Unix tools.
Granted, it duplicates stuff in sed and grep, but it looks like it would probably be useful to many people.
A project this reminded me of: http://betterthangrep.com/

Yet it appears to require node.js?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other

I don't think a critique of the code in question is especially relevant to the main point of the article, i.e. the practice of mocking open-source projects.
Debating the technical merits of this particular project can't really address that.

find + sed complaints were somewhat anticipated:

Yeah you missed the point of the article.
It's not about the usefulness of the project, it's about why does notorious developers like steveklabnik (rails core team) and dcramer (lots of django related projects) are publicly bashing this project without any reason.
It's rude and childish.
