You have to learn it.

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.
