Allow me a question: what exactly is it that the long-term Plan 9 users
miss on Plan 9, to look for it on some other system? An application I
understand people use regularly via VNC is a browser - is there anything
else that really is missing? You mention "third party apps": what exactly
is missing? And mainly: what is the reason for it missing?

I make frequent use of the evil spreadsheet at work. We do a lot of
data collection, so we need something of that sort. It's probably
missing because implementing an Excel-alike is "boring" and somehow
against "the Plan 9 way".
