It proves that the user interface of gawk is more friendly, nothing
more.
And users that do not know the difference between mawk and gawk are
not necessarily looking for performance, but may prefer a software
with a user friendly interface.
While users that do know the difference between mawk and gawk will
surely pick mawk, if they want mawk, from the start.
