There was at one time a group pushing to make a more active up to date. User friendly plan 9. Distro if I remember correctly called Harvey OS. They may still be at it. But such a small group means that it's going to take a long time combined with a lot of effort. And at this point so many things have moved on and become rather linux specific even. That the task only keeps getting more and more difficult.

Honestly, in the interim, many of plan 9's better features were adopted in some small part or completely by other operating systems. Definitely not quite as elegantly.

What I really want to know is why is nobody here talking about inferno. It's what came after plan 9.
