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 -

this is cool too Wilfred/deadgrep: fast, friendly searching with ripgrep and Emacs

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)

how to search for all .org files in a directory structure that have a specific tag in a directory structure?
I don't know about pure org, but you could try org-ql. Check org-ql-find-in-org-directory.

See https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql

I don't know about how it's done in vanilla org, even though I'm fairly sure it's possible. Still, this can be very easily done with the org-ql package: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql

org-SUPER-sparse-tree?
I don't use it, but you may want to take a look at org-ql, specifically the org-ql-search command, which does something similar. It may or may not be what you want.
