If Plan 9 is intended for researchers, say professionals, there's no need heavily decorative GUI, I also think so. But I want to use Plan 9 as a home computer system, because it is a very good computer system. MS Windows is not reliable to use, and I prefer Plan 9 than UNIX because Plan 9 is more sophisticated than latter. Suppose NEXTSTEP like environment on Plan 9. It is very good system to both researchers and users at home, isn't it? > plan9 libc very useful too... Yes. And glib also contains usuful functions such as tree, hash, etc.
