Hi, fans of suckless.org and simple software!

It seems that you like Plan9 and dislike the Linux kernel. And you seem to agree to "Worse is Better" which is presented here:
https://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html
(I think "Better" is also called "It needs a tough cook/programmer to make a chicken tender" or similar.)

But that seems to be a contradiction! For me Plan9 seems to be of the "better" kind (Some effort was done to create a simple interfac) and Linux seems of the "worse" kind (Minimal effort in elegant design). ("Better" and "worse" not judging but strictly in the context as mentioned above.)

Any clarification on this is welcome.

Kind regards
Peter Wiehe
