I've been using acme for ~6 years now and it's still my daily editor. I wrote a LSP client for it (https://github.com/mjibson/acre). acme is so weird because when you start out it's like "wait so I have to write little shell scripts to do everything?". But then it slowly dawns that larger programs (like acre) are possible that are much more interactive, like modern IDEs.

This looks pretty cool. But I'm having a hard time grasping concept of double-clicking for things like goto definition. Which makes me bring up this question, is acme useable with with 99% keyboard?
It's a single click. There's no double clicks in acme. Did you watch the youtube video? Acme is about 5% usable with a keyboard.
