Yep. Great way to put it. I've felt for a while that airBnB is the rot at the core of many previously great cities.

I've been using Acme exclusivly for almost 6 years now. I consider it to be the only true GUI text editor that has been developed, and the only non-trivial development in editor-technology since vim and emacs.

Like emacs it is more then just an editor, it is a full programming environment. If it was extended to support more then just text it could be a full desktop environment.

I see posts complaining about having to write your own integrations....well thats exactly the point of Acme. Its a programmers editor. Your write tools to make your programs, to create better tools to create better programs, to ....

Acme creates an environment, like the unix shell, for all those programs to be integrated. Acme is the modern shell!

It's sad that nothing better has been created since (~30 years)

Yes, punish the civillians of russia for the decisions of the global oilgarchs. I love the foaming-at-the-mouth war effort here.

Lest we forget the true words of Hermann Goering,

    "voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
    the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
    being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
    exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
