st? Not really, not yet. But enough to get what it's about and why plumber might be ideal in this context. What's the most complicated thing you do with it? How many cases does your setup differentiate? I always found it be a pity that i couldn't find people share their plumber setups.

I felt i could get away with gawk, because the larger part of the community considers gawk as _the_ awk. Maybe you should change what community you form part. It seems to me, even the creators of awk are endorsing gawk over other implementations. The smell is there, maybe posix awk is dead?
