Using git grep os one of the most practical things I do. Whether to look for definitions, usages, or getting a list or overview of endpoints on an api, I use it for all. It's ubiquitous, works everywhere.
Yes, other tools exist that give you this information in a clear way. But the practicality of grep is amazing.
