clearly you don't now about grep -r.
But seriously, no flame-wars about grep vs. awk vs. whatever. People clearly like to use both for different and frequently overlapping purposes. No need to say that grep is obsolete when usage says that is clearly not the case. Personally I'd much rather get rid of awk and have people use grep for the easy stuff and perl -lane for the more complicated things, but others feel differently. Lay off of grep!
