Some parts of the talk did not really stitch together; if we consider the main arguments against Unix (and the funny dab at Plan9) I felt them a bit lacking in the sense that they do not propose alternative philosophies, but only a liberating "mixing things together is cool". I can totally understand that as a form of catharsis, and a mindset totally apt for hobby projects, but if we are playing in the realm of OS design...I would think we can do better in terms of architecture and philosophy? "anything else is better" does not really convince me, some structure is usually better than none at all.
