It still is. And with different bugs in different places.
Verry funnny.

Yep. As long as you don't get to move to a real world where
most of terminals are messy-loss machines, all of them
have vt100 emulator.

Plan9 is a text-based system, just like good 'ol unix.
A window system is merely something to enter text. There is
absolutely *no* reason for making it hard to work from
other systems. Particularly, my additions to telnetd made
telnet session to feel like 81/2 terminal (though you can't
run sam or do Unicode).
