This situation speaks more to the prevalance crippled input devices and less to the innate superiority of modern UI trends.
Admittedly I only use plan 9 for text processing and as a terminal to other (both plan 9 and unix) systems, but I cannot imagine any work toward buttonless-touchpad convenience that would do anything but cripple what is currently a powerful interface.
I'm not sure there's anything to be gained from forcing different paradigms to bend to whatever monoculture is currently in power.
- rcarmo 12y agoWhat you're saying, in a nutshell, is that you based your expressed views solely on your own experience and use cases. That, I think, is what made the Plan9 community tank over the years -- I'll grant that a touchpad is different, but then again I will cheerily admit that my view is that it is vastly more powerful than a three-button mouse.
