I'm just curious: what sorts of things did you do with find that you
find impossible or too awkward to do with du?  The main things I can
recall using find for were finding set-id files (not an issue on Plan
9), finding core files (ditto), or finding files older than some date
(I use "du -ta" for that).  I haven't missed find.
