    That's how I had it at first.

    I originally had it as a "phrasebook" of how to do the same thing in the different tools, but it was really ugly and took up a lot of horizontal space, and I figured it was more useful as a chart of yes/no. Also, there were cases where two tools had pretty much the same feature, but not exactly, so just listing flags didn't make sense.

    I've still got a lot of the data of the switches in the JSON file that I build the chart from. https://github.com/beyondgrep/website/blob/dev/features.json If you've got ideas on how to bring back the phrasebook format, either integrated into this page, or as a separate standalone page, I'd love to hear them. Maybe the phrasebook isn't best done as a table like this, for example. Open a ticket in GitHub and let me know your thoughts.

    The "print lines by number" was there because earlier versions of ack had a `--line=N` feature, where you could say "ack --line=15-18" and print those four lines. I dropped it because it was hardly any better than using sed.

    If you've got suggestions on improvements, please submit an issue. I'd love to hear them.
