'ps auxww' vs 'ps aux'

Why should you use 'ps auxww' instead of 'ps aux'?

All the w options do is specify how many columns of output it's limited to (default without options is your window size).

If you had a large output due to lots of running processes and needed a properly formatted output to print or something, the w's could be useful I suppose.
