Its because I want to "Get my job done"™ that I use plan9.
Bite if you please. Hook, line, and sinker ;-)
What's your job?
1. Maintaining a Plan 9 system?
2. Programming a Plan 9 system?
3. Researching a Plan 9 system?
4. Or you got some job other than jobs created _around_ Plan 9 and you use
Plan 9?
(1) through (3) mean Plan 9 is your "job." You feed off of it. Dealing with
its quirks is your business. Well, that's your lot. Others are probably
luckier.
If your "job" is not 1-3 and you have a "computer job" tell me who has
allowed you to use a research platform in production environment? Are you
at Rangboom or Coraid, or implementing one of the _few_ applications Plan 9
has found in the "Real World?" Are you a freelancer? What sort of customers
do you have?
What exactly do you Get Done (tm) on Plan 9? I mean, aren't there easier
ways to do it? If yes, staying on Plan 9 is simply "fanity"--a la vanity--
and "fanity" is beyond reason; my reason, at least. If no, how come your
job's so specific that can't be done on much more widely used systems?
Probably it's just 1-3.

Sorry, I have to bite.
