My experience the summer I used Acme almost exclusively
was that I could be productive in about thirty minutes.
My real "problem" with acme was that after a day or two
using it I kept wondering why the mouse never worked in
X11 or Windows; it took me a while to realize that I was
trying to use the Acme mouse gestures in the old environment.
Were it not for the fact that I use the console because of
the larger fonts and general laziness, I'd use Acme under
Unix exclusively now.  In fact, when I use X11 for anything
other than web browser (rare), I do use Acme under Inferno.
