Isn't that a bit disingenuous? From what it sounds like, you were probably able to become quickly proficient with sam and acme because you were experienced with vi and ed.
It doesn't look like those editors are without any need for documentation. http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/sam/ http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/sam/

Knowing them would make a huge productivity boost but you can start using them gradually. Yes, you need documentation. How much though? I'd say very very little compared to traditional editors.
