Give Brantley's comments a read: http://9fans.net/archive/2006/12/107
Plan 9's history and culture is different from other operating
systems. I do not see the point to visit another country, and
criticise it for not being more like your own.
In my experience it is better to respect the differences and adapt,
than to engage in ethnocentrism.
Moving on. While watching this video [1],
http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645, I felt it
might be beneficial for our community to review the lessons learnt.
