On the other hand, you may argue that as grep is more or less a subset of awk, what's the need for it anyway? I guess the answer is that as it's been designed to do a simple and only task, it can do it efficiently, but I guess it's less of an argument nowadays.Yes, the efficiency isn't the reason these days.
