## Acme Text Editor Reviews
  ### 1. Esoteric and fun

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Milad N. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2015

**What do you like best about Acme Text Editor?**

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.


**What do you dislike about Acme Text Editor?**

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.

**Recommendations to others considering Acme Text Editor:**

At the moment I definitely would not recommend Acme, but back in the day, it was one hell of a toy.

Right now, I would say close your eyes, scream, and run. Acme is plain dead. Even the port of Plan9 for other platforms hasn't really changed anything about Acme.

**What problems is Acme Text Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I did basically everything with Acme. I used it for editing text, executing external commands via the run command feature and I even used it to trigger music player commands.
