i'm not arguing with your point. i think it's a good one, although
not my style. but on a practical level, how do you get any of the
plan 9 graphical apps to work if you're running x11/kde on top of
plan 9? conversely, how do you educate kde on the ways of plan 9.
since it's a environment, not just an application, i would think
it a lot harder than your strawman of emacs. perhaps that's just
my narrow thinking.
