Something tells me that a person who reacts to Vim with
a “yuck!” won't like Acme either. Also, I don't know how
true this is, but I've read that Acme loses some of its
advantages when it's run in e.g. X11 as opposed to its
native rio[1] with plumber[2].

I _think_ that Rob used Acme in OSX, but I can't find this source.
A couple of the Go authors did a lot of the initial coding and continue to code in Acme (rsc, r). The broader Go team use a wider variety: Vim, Emacs, Goland, and VSCode are the most popular from what I've seen.
Well, he is also the author, and ACME is even worse than classical VI, in terms of usability.
The only thing it has going for it is being based on Oberon's UI workflows.
Could you expand this? Quite like Acme and wondered what you don't like about it
