Problem is the vast complexity they both contain is hidden inside
libwebkit. That thing is huge. I get the feeling surf and uzbl only
make the tip of the iceberg suck less.

Hm, I think we already concluded somewhat that a research application
is unlikely to be suckless. I'm not really sure what you mean
I think the general opinion of Plan 9 in suckless is positive, but
most people don't find it practical (probably because it hasn't been
widely adopted), and I think most people opt for linux distributions
like debian and arch. I don't know many with a high opinion of MS
Windows.
There's work going
Some philosophical questions..
What does it mean for an operating system to be suckless?
What features should (or should not) an OS have in order to be suckless?
Are there suckless or close-to-be-suckless operating systems out there?
What does suckless thinks about Plan9, *BSD, GNU/Linux, MS Windo
