To my view, acme is more of an IDE than an editor. the << B3-on-file:linenum >> in the diagnostics window from a compile is the greatest productivity gain I have ever experienced. I do like how I can use the "window control " extensions acme provides to write helper scripts for that environment. But again, these are almost always IDE-oriented things that I only use during compile/debug/compile/debug. I have never been able to get my head around sam's user interface, at least to the point where I would be using it as it was intended. I love it in '-r' mode on UNIX when I need to edit something on the other end of a horribly inconsistent VPN tunnel. But really, for most plain text editing needs (troff docs, system config files, etc), I'm happy to plod along with ed(1).
