This is not a fair statement.
IMO, the beauty of something is to the builder, the experience of
something is to the user.
A porsche driver cares about how it feels to drive, not the geometry of
the suspension or the degrees of freedom used to tune it.
Similary, one can keep the innovations of plan9 under the covers and
deliver something an end user might enjoy(even if it means tab
completion). (this is from someone who has contributed zippo (other than
noise) to this list).
