Er, that *some* of its developers have abandoned.

And similar to UNIX in a sense, it's primarily a research
vehicle, it's not all that usable from what I've seen.
Just like the first version of UNIX.  The best word for
it is "minimalist".

UNIX hasn't been stagnat for 20 years either.  Otherwise,
would one call the automobile a 100 year old invention as
if it were a term if derision?  UNIX looks nothing like
the original.  Probably with the right viewing angle,
Plan 9 looks even closer to that ancient technology than
modern UNIX...

But Linux is being used by many people, many of them also
have access to other UNIX systems.  And it's getting wildly
popular.  So apparently, this "just another UNIX" isn't
just another UNIX somehow.
