It's definitely a programmer's editor. Some notable programmers used acme (Dennis Ritchie, Russ Cox). A lot of very great ideas/softwares were written inside acme (plan9, UTF-8, Go, etc).

But I agree that it's not the best choice for some languages or environments.

According to the Acme page at acme.cat-v.org, it was "implemented in the Alef programming language, and later rewritten in C using libthread".
