One of my favorite features of plan9 is how it handles the bin directory.

For one, you can have sub-directories inside the bin directory. This lends to a nice hierarchy of commands and encourages writing small single purpose commands instead of large monolith commands. An example of this is the `ip/ping` command.

Another feature uses the union file system which prevents me from having to mess with $PATH locating commands.
