Out of the two editors available I would really opt for using Acme instead. If you happen to find yourself newly installing plan 9 then someone might suggest Sam to use and you will be stuck trying to learn everything about Sam before you can start. Learning only the basics of Sam is enough for the new user, and learning it without the mouse seems like a really good idea. I agree with you sam -d is not an entry level choice, Acme is best for this. In my next post I showed how to write hello world in Sam and then suggest Acme for editing files from there on.
