I have no interest in using 9front for both technical and non-technical reasons. The "community" is atrocious; anyone willing to turn a blind eye toward bad behavior due to technical merit is sophomoric if not abusive. ISTR calling this "elitist fuckery" in the past, I still stand by that. Second, the gatekeeping that was done while the labs was still active was tough, but usually fair. Geoff did a nice job of keeping the spirit of plan9 alive and often rejected larger changes that could have upset the balance. David's work on 9legacy also follows the same spirit; it's a patch queue that pulls from a number of different sources but strives to keep the original spirit intact. I struggle to see the same mindset held by 9front. That said, there is work being done outside of 9front. It's not as public or as polarizing, but there are still people hacking away.
