Am I the only one who thought this could alsop work lik "just" a find tool, only to discover it silently erased that word from all files in the directory without asking for confirmation? This felt riskier than rm -rf.

This should only happen if you hit enter on the confirmation screen - was it not clear that this would happen? I'd rather not slow users down by making them confirm that they definitely want to perform the replacement, but I'm happy to hear about other ways to make it clear that a replacement is going to be performed
