@dcc @7666 @suprem_dolbojob @dushman @julia I wasn't talking about normies, I was talking about intelligent people using graphical applications on normal operating systems. Command line is different since you really are just composing different programs and using text streams as an interchange format while Plan 9 also neatly sidesteps the issue with the emphasis on instantiating everything as dynamically populated file trees over a common interchange protocol. Anyway, each approach has their upsides and downsides but for the usecase being mentioned here I absolutely prefer everything under one proverbial roof, whether that be a monolithic graphical application or virtual file system.
