Acme Text Editor Reviews & Product Details

In short, I can say that simplicity is at its best. Let me explain it. The editor is so simple to use that even a person with zero knowledge can easily use it. No prior training is needed, which is the best part Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the user interface of the editor. I am assuming the team can work on it to make it more seamless and a bit colorful. This will enhance productivity as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning, it was very difficult for me to adapt to this text editor, I was a vi editor user for years so coming to this hybrid tool was kind of complicated at the beginning, but when I started learning the shortcuts and tricks about the tool I found it very useful and interactive.

I like the new approach acme had for working with texts and specially the way it handled portions of text that could be edited externally. The windowed system it had was unparalleled at the time of its advent.

It was also just plain cool to be able to say I work with "Acme".

I have yet to revisit the port of Plan9 on RaspberryPi which sounds kind of cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It involved using the mouse too much. I am more of a terminal guy and I would much prefer to be able to do things without ever lifting my fingers from the keyboard. Thus, a plain terminal sometimes suites me the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
