Close, but no.  Now I'm going to complain that a web browser is the
*first thing* many, many new users ask for.  Links is, arguably, the
first *viable* browser that's compiled and run on Plan 9.  It may not
be pretty, inside or out (and the latter is certainly your opinion),
but at least it works, which is more than can be said for, e.g., Mothra
or i.

Do you really think it's wise to ignore that?
