I haven’t. I’m not sure how much it differs from the acme experience, but I still miss them especially the terminal-as-editor. I hear some of the same people may have been involved. 

Which is why I can’t possibly make time for the adm-3a, that never ending hobby project is already claimed by my desire for acme with syntax highlighting.

/me goes back to working in a :term inside neovim inside tmux inside a mosh session inside a glorified vt100 emulator, while absolutely not crying about applications being ignorant of presentation layer for “portability”
