My $0.02. When I began using Plan 9, rio, and acme, I forced myself to use it because I had the sense that it was an elegant system and that, if I ever came to understand it, especially per process namespaces, I could do some really clever stuff. In the early stages I would have said that you use Plan 9 despite the user interface, not because of it. Well, now I can't stand to use anything else. I have a mac just for the cases when I need a “full-featured” browser and drawterm to my Plan 9 setup the rest of the time.
