[9fans] plan9 now officially not the OS with the ugliest GUI anymore

[andrey mirtchovski]

i don't want to hear anyone complain about the plan9 gui anymore, lest
they be cast into the world of LoseThos:

http://www.losethos.com/

from the website:

"The LoseThos IBM PC Operating System
x86_64, open source, free, public domain
[...]
PROMISES:
1) LoseThos will always run everything in kernel mode.  There is no
user mode.  All programs will have full

I always thought 8 1/2, rio, acme and friends were more, uh, Amish UIs
than ugly UIs, but to each his or her own.

In regard to the GUI itself, it's an interesting concept. THe only
thing uglier is if it was all text.

d00dz, you're getting too caught-up in this whole gui thing and
failing to see the forest for the tree. take a look around on that
site. watch one or two of the demo videos, check the documentation
out...

i guarantee you, you've never seen anything like this before (except
for the part where grep outputs direct line addresses which can
immediately be plumbed into the editor)
