Some of these line items are really obtuse and in some cases just not right, "Don't search in binary files" and "Treat binary files as if they were text" for example caught my eye - GNU grep has the `--binary-files` option which supports both of these features. Others like "can pipe output to a pager" seem like a half-hearted attempt to give a +1 to a specific tool while ignoring that you can... pipe the output of any of them using... a pipe.

Ahhh, I did not (my bad) - I don't track grep features, not a hobby :) this chart could have been more truthy 2 years ago for all I know. Thanks.
