Screenshots -- or GIFs -- of Plan 9 compared with Inferno would be most instructive. The Plan 9 folks I've talked to are a bit shocked by this, but I preferred Inferno's GUI to plain old Rio/Acme etc.

No, they weren't. They told me an awkward neologism for someone who isn't senior and isn't junior, and that means that neither they nor the original message tell me mid-level what. So, no, they were not, or I would not have
