Some users are lazy. 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.
