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?
