Acme, and anything like it, would be completely horrendous on a touch interface. I use it regularly (although I find that I prefer Sam).
Edit: Then again, I have touchscreeens on many of my laptops. I don't find them useful. With the exception of drawing art, I wouldn't miss them if they disappeared.

I'm no so sure about "anything like it". A pen for easily selecting text, a one-two-three finger tap and/or a wheel/secondary input might work with a similar interface to ACME?
