On Unix and the rest of the comment: plan9/9front superseded it well:
- 9p+encryption on top instead of NFS, much better.
- C under plan9 it's far better and easier than POSIX. Also, we had Golang under Unix which almost made that better C philosophy into Unix with a better systems language.
- Usenet/IRC works and you'll get far more trolls under the web.
- The terminal makes things better in most cases than freezing UI's or Emacs, see my another post. But 9front doesn't use terminals, it's graphical from the start and composable.
- On security, plan9/9front uses namespaces and factotum plus decoupled servers/devices for hardware, a much better design.
- On documentation, the rest of the OSes have it far worse. But it was almost the same case with ITS and Macsyma/Maclisp, where you had a reference book and not starting guides to ease the learning of the language. GNU Texinfo made at least an Elisp intro a Maxima it's far better docummented wth on-line guides and examples.
- SystemD it's a disaster, and Wayland destroys any scriptabilily/hacks with wmctrl/xdotool/custom WM/DE's or something simple like remapping keys on broken keyboards (I use the "<>" key as "\ |" as my physical one it's broken, and I already have < and > near 'm') and it works.
