If you want emacs and vi, you won't get them with acme -- besides, you already had them, remember? Acme is a very nice tool. But you have to climb the learning curve, and there's no escaping it. I don't know how else to put it. Most times, I use acme, but still use emacs and vi as well. They are different. FWIW, there's lots of people who think emacs and vi are a joke for code use, and use the more sophisticated IDEs out there. To each his own. ron
