As Ronald says, plan9 offers most benefit to researchers, students and
developers. In my case I really like it because it is a system. I have
had enough from this supercharged pseudo systems with thousands of not
working/cooperating applications. Today it is really hard to get any
benefit from a traditional system. They all have to many ballast from
the past, to many bells and whistles, to many bugs and to many
marketing droids.

I'm not a developer or a researcher but for me, there is no
alternative solution today. Maybe it is the "power of textfiles" or
some kind of zen. I hope there are enough "good guys" out there to
keep it alive. Otherwise I must throw my computers out of the window.
