Going by your list, I would conclude your code is something in the
vein of Java plus web stuff, maybe even J2EE, or maybe the scourge of
the editing world, Python.

If that's the case and you have to deal with other people's code, Acme
is probably not going to help you very much. In fact Acme will make
the shortcomings of any code you are looking at a lot more obvious.

For me, that's a crucial thing. Keeps my code in check purely through
the text of it.

Acme's strengths lie in navigating, writing and changing code that is
of a certain standard.

Just my thoughts,
