I understand that we are drifting a bit off-topic here, but for the sake
of all reading it, it probably would be relevant to at least offer some
more explanation of your point. Saying 'you are wrong' is not very
informative. I still think that you just misinterpret my words though.
One still cannot ignore the fact that Unix and Plan 9 offer two
completely different approaches to displaying text. I think it also
would not be very productive nor it was intended to use Plan 9 without
mouse and rio(1).

When Plan 9 was created in the mid-late 80s
exactly those ideas
circulated. Nothing comes from nothing, everything has its historical
context. In the late 80s in order to "innovate" it was natural to think
that abandoning text terminals is a "progress".
I don't get the sense, from reading this, that you have ever used Plan 9
for serious work, or indeed done more than see or run a demo. I'm keeping
this short because this is TUHS, not T9HS. But your characterization of
Plan 9 is just wrong.
