I hope I will NEVER see icons, gradients and rounded edges on Plan9: the day
they will appear within /n/sources will be the funeral day of Plan9 on my box -- i'm NOT joking. Let this crap to other OSes, and let's continue being "OS Ferrari", as labelled earlier by someone else (can't recall who). Plan9 should not try to be for everybody, for it is the safest way to HELL.
Just IMHO, as usually. Morover, if I was able to master the basics of using Plan9
, then everyone can. Remember, I'm not a computer man, I'm a biologist. Vevertheless, I like Plan9 design, enjoy using it on an everyday basis, I got rid of Windoze long time ago and maintaining a small Linux partition just for running a web browser  with all that crap stuff like javascript etcetc... pesting most of what in past days have been HTML 1.0 webpages.
When I'm able to install abaco and configure acme mail, i'll get rid of linux, too.

Best regards,
++pac.

I think what Plan 9 really needs is a screencast. If people could
actually *see* what it was like to use p9 they'd come running. Most
users coming from linux seem to get frustrated and move on quickly.

All you'd need to do then is add some gradients and rounded edges to
rio and acme.
