acme is a better emacs than emacs, because it uses the mouse
fully, and is a _tool_ that other programs can use, rather
than a monolith.
Sounds good for mouse exploiters.
But what if I don't want to use the damn mouse? Call me neanderthal,
but I'm not willing to slow my work down by a factor of 2 to use a
mouse. Does acme support alt/control/shift key bindings?
(For reference, I touch the mouse maybe 5 times a day... all my
Xwindow focus, open, iconify, etc. are bound to key sequences.)
I'm not in love with emacs... in fact I detest many aspects of it, but
it's far better than all the other tools I have available... and it
lives on all the machines I have to use.

I can understand being disappointed with losing emacs and getting
sam, as an integrated environment is a good thing. But when you
compare apples with apples, you'll be happy you switched to plan 9
and acme.
