Acme is an incredible, fascinating editor... that relies too much on rat wrestling to be useful to me. I really find it interesting how it takes advantage of Plan 9's aggressive Unix philosophy to provide functionality that would've been plugins or extensions in other editors as separate C programs or scripts.

But having to use the mouse for everything just drives me nuts. It's easier for my fingers to acquire even Emacs keybindings than it is for me to acquire the mouse and point at something with any precision.
