There is something to be said for microkernels they allow for a lot less headaches with kernel development, and it could drastically improve plan 9's portability, a key feature. Also, the multi-server approach taken by the GNU/Hurd is innovative and well suited to SMP and distributed environments. However, the FSF has a role and the GNU project is (and should be) a side project for them. The real problem with it, though, is that C (like plan 9) was designed with portability as a major feature, and the GNU extensions in GCC aren't helping portability. It's kinda like microsoft's C#, they may be wonderful features, but you missed the whole point.
