I suspect you also have to have a powerful editor *that you're
familiar using*. Plan 9 is different from what you're used to,
so you can expect to dump that familiarity and clamber up the
learned curve first.

In some ways, arguing the differences here is like arguing the
differences between programming languages from different families.
You can do the same things with them, but you choose between them
because their different attributes suit your situation better.

"Better" is arguably subjective (as in, we'd probably get an
argument). Just stick with "different".
