the article does mention it toward the end. when i was 18 i tried it out half in jest thinking the people pushing it were just being contrarian...

The problem with stuff like this is: sure, maybe it's amazing.

Then what do you do with it? Is the UI reproduced anywhere else? Does it have LSP/intellisense support? Can it be automated through various means, such as macros? Etc.

I would love it if emacs had a decent acme equivalent. You can get part way there, but there are definitely times where I’d like the flexibility of it. It’d be a lot smoother for me than setting up, say, hydra and memorising a whole list of custom keybindings.

As a concept, acme was definitely ahead of its time.
