I wish I could. But there are very sophisticated tools out there that
are perfectly suited for their task. Form the other hand, Plan 9 has
perfect integration facilities but lacks ready to use applications.
So, there is a dilemma: would you use an already written application
or would you write it from scratch? In a time constrained environment
it's often the former. In the research projects it could be the
latter, but how much research we are doing at work?
