Why use bloated tools if we can already do everything we want?

Acme is NOT the standard text editor, but it's still very nice. Having multiple windows makes it better than ed, at least.

Everything is just a click away.

9front provides many useful kernel devices as files. No symlinks, no hardlinks, just files. You can throw words at them.

Plan 9 comes with graphical capabilities instead of relying only on the keyboard. It has a clean user interface.

As you may know there's a clone of this content on #pixelfed. Since there are not many likes there and most fedi-action is on mastodon I thought about removing it. What do you think? Should I keep posting on the Pixelfed #9front account?
