Hi, Well, [EMAIL PROTECTED] could definitely be a choice. But, doesn't it go against the basic philosophy of Plan9 creators??!
Sam, as far as I know, was created with orthogonality and simplicity in mind (as well as whole Plan9). It only added a few commands compared to ed. Just what is truly needed. Vim is highly configurable, any instance of it behaves slightly differently, and it has incomparably higher complexity, which makes it, some would say (read E. S. Raymond's Art of unix) awful. We parhaps really don't need that. But nowadays, you don't have a choice: neither sam nor acme can be used.
