What features are missing?

My personal feeling is that SF is slow, not obvious to find info, plus
it has annoy ads.

If you search "moving from github to sourceforge", I only see
mirgrating from sourceforge to github, instead of the other way
around. I think this is a good reason people tends to move away from
sf to github.

You never know. But given people are moving away from sf, there must
be a good reason.

If you put gawk on github, it should be easy to pop it out when people
search awk.
