And then replies slowly devolve into arguing about irrelevant things that were solved with the existence of Linux because plan9 sucks and Linux is just a kernel which is actually used by people and therefore they actually found ways to solve problems they were most annoyed by. All these "X is poor man's Y" are a cope. Plan9 is poor man's <insert any operating system that is supposedly inferior to Plan9> because noone uses it. I'm sure on most people the irony of this statement will be lost, so I'm gonna explain: yeah, plan9 is better on paper, too bad we live in glass world.
