Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
I really like the idea of focusing on producing patches for human consumption. I studied the problem of merging AST-level patches during my PhD (https://github.com/VictorCMiraldo/hdiff) and can confirm: not simple! :)

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
- What have you recently *removed* from your Emacs configuration?

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

ripgrep is fantastic | Emacs is fantastic | BOOM you get the fantastic rg.el

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)

Alternatives to two swiper/counsel commands
deadgrep is an interface to ripgrep.
What are some alternatives?
