Russ do you prepend plan9port/bin to PATH when using acme as a way to prefer tools which do not make use of escape sequences for coloring term output? Or do you disable color in tools like mercurial?

No, but I do export TERM=dumb and then complain to authors of programs that still emit escape sequences.
