Nah. You can rrun a shell in acme with the "win" command.

Well, the obvious answer is in reaction to de facto GNU bloat. Nevermind the fact that MacOS's init system is extended in XML, I think, not that it really matters. You can do a lot of self-destructive things when you're posturing, which is why it's really not good to by wholly abstinent of free software or proprietary software, because you'd be missing the point of any free software endeavor, copyleft or otherwise. GNU was written on a proprietary operating system – modeled after one, too.
Drawing from the quotations of that guy on BSD Now or that other guy on FLOSS Daily, both of which use openly use MacOS and its corresponding hardware in some capacity, a lot of ostensible "UNIX purist[s]" don't really want to meditate on the core principles of Unix and apply them creatively, or at least flexibly, so they choose a conservative posture. It's idolatry, plain and simple. The Unix lover/hater dichotomy is two polarities of an unhealthy glut of fetishistic idolatry, the former of which is really no different than the latter, because they both dwell on the retroactive perceived possible realization of a presently unrealized reality (that of a pure Unix ecosystem/that of a LM-populated ecosystem) and cultivate that dissatisfaction in shitty reactionary dick swinging. Ignore them both, but don't hate them, because we can always aspire to be better, to cultivate that frustration healthily; and those two images are by principle better than the status quo, but just as symbols, not in their literal manifestation.

OS X is a certified Unix system. This means this is more attractive to Unix fans.
Tyler Perez
Yes, but only technically. Anyone with a brain knows better than to touch that sinking ship.

To be fair, Plan9 in some ways kind of anticipated iOS. Or at the mobile phone/SoaS interaction framework.

plan9 needs somebody to completely slap a brand new gui onto it and leave the useful parts intact, and port a modern browser because fuck you i want it as a daily driver and my ameritrade doesn't trade itself

emacs is bloated shit it is a good thing they don't support it.

You can change how it works, and you don't just have to run code from bars, any text on the screen can be executed. Also it does support the scroll wheel. 9Front supports Emacs through a Linux ABI, but most plan 9 users use Plan9port. I don't know why plan 9 wouldn't support emacs, it's just not AT&T's job to port all the code over to the plan9 libc.
I remember why I muted the word goyim now. It usually means you have nothing of value to contribute (and don't have a clue what you're talking about).
