The first one displays a Dired buffer with all the matching files, the
other two display the normal Grep hits, but differ in how they accept
arguments: grep-find wants the full Find command line, while grep-tree
asks only for its variable parts and keeps the rest hidden from the
user.

I think at least grep-tree and grep-find could be a single command:
e.g., it would behave like grep-tree by default, but with a prefix
argument will show the full command (so that power users could tailor
it), like grep-find does.

It's also possible to make find-grep-dired a variant of the same
single command, if we want only one UI instead of 3.
