I, too, use Plan 9 like this. I'm using drawterm on XP--all my iMac's
broke! We use OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux as well. Plan 9 is meant to
do what it was meant to do and it would be a big waste of time to
reinvent all the Mac and Windows applications.
And the user interface for the technical users would begin to suck.
