for me very interesting question:
who use a Plan 9 system productive?
who use it for research?
who use it just because bored with Linux as a tec gaming site?
who use it commercial in a business?
who use it on an embedded device?
who programs with limbo?
what else?

I now use Plan 9 for everything that does not involve 3D graphics, the
www, or email. The latter is because as far as I'm aware there's no way
to get a threaded message view.

I do. Well, "bored" is one word for what I feel about Linux. More than
that, I find Plan 9 liberating compared to early Linux or OpenBSD.

I don't think it would be much effort to address that point if it
really matters to you.
You could use that:
https://bitbucket.org/mpl/acmemail-with-sort-by-thread/src as an
example (or not).

Although I used to use it in a graduate school setting as my main
desktop (so writing thesis, remote connections to unix machines), I now
simply have a VPS that runs it (well, 9front now). It is used as a
playground for little experiments and projects that aren't tied to an
existing platform (i.e. I don't need some massive toolkit). I also
cannot find a better text content creation platform (tex,troff).
I can't stress enough, however, the value of having a native
installation close by. It provides an unparalleled focus on the
platform itself that a virtual machine (or remote machine) just doesn't
offer (and I can't offer any good reason *why* this is -- i'd wager it
is just a placebo effect). To that end I do have some atom boards that
are in the queue as soon as I have a free weekend.
The 'productive' question doesn't apply to me. I'm not productive on
linux or plan 9.

See the wiki: http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/plan_9_wiki/
Limbo is used in Inferno. Go can be used in Plan 9
