Can you share your reasons for that? I feel like I'm in the same boat now you used to be in. But also mainly because I really like Plan9.

      Yeah, we would definitely be ahead by using tcc instead of gcc (who cares about running optimized code anyway? Smh), PDF is harmful so use PS? They are not even competing projects. SQL database as harmful? Wtf. Vim is harmful?
