I used to believe so.
So much that years ago I created #JehanneOS ( http://jehanne.h--k.it/ ) to cleanup the (few) #Plan9 issues I saw and make it both simpler and more poweful.

However after years working on it I gave up, mostly because I realized that the language of Plan 9 is just as arcane and elitarian as UNIX one.

Awk? Grep? Xargs?

Why do we use such arcane words?

Plan 9 is way simpler than modern unices such as #Linux or #BSD, but still too arcane for most people to learn.

#OberonOS was simpler, for example (but lacking important concepts such as hierarchical filesystem and proper multiprocessing).

We should start from scratch I'm afraid, learning from past errors and trying new appraches.
