Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Deadgrep (uses ripgrep and evil-collection has a binding) takes me to my happy place -

Navigating an enormous code base
rg.el or deadgrep: Emacs interfaces to ripgrep, a grep-like tool that is very fast. This lets us search across a large number of files for a pattern of text. The disadvantage of searching for text is that if you are looking for the method called foo and there are hundreds of them that exist, it can be hard to know which one you really want. On the other hand, at the scale and complexity that you are talking about, I can imagine that more IDE-like tools just start failing.

If you have never used wgrep with rg.el to rename a function in several files, try it | that will blow your mind
Yes in this area (text search) there is many alternatives. Wilfred Hughes (author of deadgrep) has listed them in: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep/blob/master/docs/ALTERNATIVES.md

Is there a magit-like interface for grep?
Deadgrep does this, IIUC (I use ripgrep.el instead, but I think deadgrep does something like what you want)

The Golden Ratio Package in Emacs: Perfect Window Resizing
Switched from golden-ratio to zoom some years ago.

What have you recently *removed* from your Emacs configuration?
I've found zoom works better than golden-ratio-mode for me.

Experimental window animations
I don't know if the cursor animation can be implemented in Emacs but I tried to implement the window animation along with zoom-mode. It is quite experimental and probably needs much more work to make it stable but I wanted to share anyway, here is the demo:
