I have written quite a few hacks to replicate the Acme experience and it includes many tools outside the text editor part: terminal, shell, window manager ... Sure vim is a vastly superior text editor and acme is a better "integrating" text environment. Something as different as a Jupyter notebook. As for vim limits: poor mouse support, window management, plumber support, notebook like features (emacs org Babel), editable interface, jump to /path/to/file:/search pattern/ and other Sam expressions ...
