This is not true at all, IMO. I've used both sam and wily, and I've found that
wily is too slow, especially when searching for text in large documents. Also,
having used Acme, wily is a lot less similar to Acme than Unix sam is like Plan9
sam. WRT "usefulness," that depends entirely on how you *use* the editor...sam
boots faster and finds text faster. Everything else seems to be approximately
equal.
