I envy this. In an Iceberg OS chart I presume this would be the darkest depths. But I am not hat read up on what OSes are out there, so...
If I were to guess there's probably less than 500 active users. I could be totally off on this because I'm sure not all users are on the internet but there's no way there's many more than that.
It's a best kept secret. There's a few other ones that I know of that are less used but basically Plan 9 is nonexistent. I genuinely think the only reason I know about it is because its fans are so incredibly vocal about how nice it is. I have become one of them.
Unfortunately I know why it died. I'm a technical person but even I have trouble setting up some stuff. I am not a fan of abstractions but I'm also less of a fan of complexity. Plan 9 is incredibly simple, and that is through some abstractions. Unfortunately I feel like there's still some work to do. I plan on making a few basic tools that make life with it easier (calendar, reminders, etc.) and also a few scripts that make it way easier to setup how you want. Sorry for the tangent.
