It was reimplemented in C during 1972-1974, and is therefore the first source-portable operating system. Currently there are a wide variety of implementations of it, with varying degrees of compatibility, from a variety of vendors - Sun, Silicon Graphics, SCO, HP, IBM, etc. It quickly became a favorite among programmers and serious technical types, which significantly shaped its evolution to make it a very friendly and powerful OS for the kinds of uses that those types tended to put it to. The early dominion of AT&T, its high cost, and, as time went on, the greater disparities between other versions of the OS created a great need for a common, free Unix-like OS. The fact that the user base had a large contingent of system and application programmers meant that the ability to fill that need was there. So GNU was born.
