It’s not as unix-y as you think.

AFAIA plan9 takes the original unix ideas further than Unix or its descendents. in this light, plan9 is more unixy than unix.
In two aspects only

1. Everything is a file. 2. A command does only one thing well

There's no init, fstab, etc etc etc. Very little of your Unix muscle memory will work.

I've used it plenty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's an odd duck and very interesting but the Unix roots are still clear IMO.
