I'm using it on a daily base for development and as a server plattform. 9vx is my terminal, while I use geany editor from linux as an editor. 9p filesystems can easily be started for data transfer with native 9legacy. The only feature I miss in 9vx is the lack of some plan9 devices in my case

In some cases, you can place the code of your project on a Linux machine, then mount the directory containing it from 9front (nfs, 9p .. whatever is more convenient for you). Then, to build, go there (at 9front side): % cd /n/ext_linux_server/my_src/ % mk So you may work with the code at Linux
