We want/need/miss Plan 9 so badly that we cannot help make wishfull thinking that everything else worked that way. When we look back, from a Plan 9 user perspective, we crumble in agony just to realise we have been slaves/dominated by pop tech all these years. Kudos for Rob Pike when he told "Make the industry want your work." in "Systems Software Research is Irrelevant". Some evil twisted words, I'd say. In the end, industry wants pop tech. It is the user who ends up wanting/needing/missing. Plan 9 gives us an opportunity of catharsis and makes *you* in charge, again.
