Thanks for the attention. I actually didn't mean it's simple, but
It is elegant, because there is small amount of code, for example
take 8 1/2 and X window systems - they both are graphical, though
Plan9 graphics are a little bit strange, it is many times smaller in
source...

Ken Thompson and Rob Pike say that UNIX(R) and all clones of it
are ancient systems, Plan9 is modern; C language is bad, though
Limbo is very good. They say that their new system is system of
the future, because everything is done through files. But now not
many people use it, unfortunately, because of weird architecture too.
So, now most users are Windows, then Linux, then some BSD, Solaris
(UNIX(R)'es). I use OpenBSD 3.9, though I have Plan9 not installed.

What can you say about it?
