If you're producing a horror film, perhaps. But not in a UI. ;-)

I agree with Eli--there are way too many grep commands (and that was
before I just learned about grep-tree). find-grep is redundant with
grep's -r and --include options. grep-tree is redundant with
find-grep.

We only need two: grep (which shows you the grep hits) and grep-dired
(which lists the matched files in dired). The default UIs for both
should be simple (like grep-tree), but should allow editing of the
command with the prefix argument.

Another thought: it would be nice if the -i option were passed to grep
if case-fold-search is t.
