I'm not sure it's a fair experiment. Plan 9 made it to "market" ten years
after Linux . Still worse, from 1991-2000 ATT/Lucent were actively trying
to kill it (though I doubt their management saw it that way ...).
I'm kind of hating life with Linux 2.4 series kernels. I keep thinking,
"if only I could just cut over to Plan 9 ...".
It is easy to make a case that Linux was not designed.
