[...] I can only speak for myself. It took me about an hour to memorize the basics (chording, discovering -c 1, understanding how commands work), about one day before I switched to acme for most editing tasks, and about a week until I discovered that Edit commands are actually explained in the sam(1) man page (used |sed before). All in all, acme(1) is a very clean interface and should not take too much time to get proficient with. Acme(4) may be a different thing (haven't looked too hard yet).
