Well, the GNU version does more and is more documented. The Plan9 code is frankly shitC, even for 1980z
But this monstrosity is something else
Plan 9 does the job. GNU is better for the end user. But if I had to maintain that stuff I would definitely want to maintain the Plan 9 code and not the GNU code.
Of course, not always is shorter better.
