Very curious what is wrong about the rg defaults.
The only one I change is to add `--no-ignore`.

Depends on the use case.
If used in scripts, ubiquity and speed can be important. Then again, the output of ss is not ideal for script processing.

But it's not tradeoff! You can make default view useful without trading versatility.
Another annoying part is not supporting json or even CSV. Some tools got modernized with it (like iproute2 tool set), but for these you might as well do /proc scraping yourself...
