They don't like to type this so looong commands, they don't like to type so long paths, they like to type something like ac[tab] /h/g/P/g[tab] (zsh style) or pk/i[tab] inf[tab] or even hg ci -m 'TEH COMMIT' Good user interface isn't "so cool graphics effects", it's neither blurry film neither bells and whistles. Good user interface is a thing providing to interact to computer most fast and effective way. And good user interface is an another thing Plan 9 basically cannot into.
--- Plan 9 related: autocomplete doesn't work in the same namespace where rc works. I consider, it will be never fixed.
