Same here. I just plain like it better and find it more intuitive to
use.
I'd also like to add that, since mlocate was specifically mentioned
in the subject line, I found this page on Stack Exchange, which
explores the difference between locate and mlocate:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/273182/difference-between-locate-and-mlocate
That page also links to this page in the Debian repositories, for an
interesting explanation of what mlocate is and does:
