Porting software is expensive and time consuming. Unix
mostly works. On top of that, Unix has many features.
Bolted on in ways that don't fit, but features that
aren't provided by Plan 9 tools, nonetheless.

When given a familiar but ugly environment with more
features, which requires less work to get their familiar
software running, what do you expect the result to be?
