I have been using plan9 as my desktop since 2000.

As people have said browser support is an issue, there is linuxemu + firefox but I prefer to remote desktop/vnc to a windows/linux VM that my work's IT dept look after.

In this day and age throwing another VM at the problem is not a big deal, and is definitely easier than porting webkit.

I write C code for embedded and server side code so I can write this in portable C and run it on windows, Linux, plan9 or embedded under threadx.

Its an environment I am used to and I like it, I find I am productive with it.

This is an x11 port in the contrib directory equis - if you want it. I use it to communicate with remote linux machines.

There is also an ncurses port and a vim port. I don't feel the need for either of those.

comea c++ is available though it costs $50
