Yeah that's me :) At least the second part, because with Emacs I don't really need to be invidious.

TBH I do actually like Unix and Plan9, but having read a big part of cat-v website in the past, most of the views there are fanatical, and are more bitter, cynical and disingenuous than I can ever force myself to be. Especially the way incredibly useful and important OSS projects are denigrated and misrepresented is really annoying (see the harmful stuff section, for example).

Well, I apologize and withdraw the 'bitterly invidious', you aren't.

One part is a matter of taste, and having been around both styles, I like better the 'keep it simple' approach. Too many functions/options overload my simple brain ;-)
