The problem is that both your attitude and 4ad reflect a somewhat toxik high-priest holier-than-you.
For example, someone enquiring about using arrow for history navigation gets an immediate response about how bash is an abimination and a rant about no-one having written a new shell in 20 years and what not.
Meanwhile, skipping entirely any discussion about how plan 9 does things better. 4ad mentioned " but failed to explain how one navgates /down/ the history. It also entirely ignores the fact that users have voted and arrows have won. They are used to navigate in text. Navigate between email messages. Practically every where keyboard-based navigation is used, arrow leys have proved both accessible, simple to understand and fast to use for the level-1 needs (next, previous, ...). Are your rants enlightening? no. They merely impress that plan 9 is not a community I'd like to join.
