I am a rather new plan9 user and the first time I installed it I was
very confused , I was like you , used to cmd line unix editors.

In my second try I actualy tried to learn acme, and after hacking the
imap upas/fs a couple of hours with it I began to like it , acme.

Now I dont have any cisc pc , but I have a RiscPC :), except a 68040 ql
compatible , so no plan9 for me :(
