This whole "Writing anything new is a terrible idea!" attitude is
getting old.  Why does acme exist?  Thank god you weren't around the
Unix Room when that got started, or you would have just said, "Isn't
sam good enough for you?" If somebody feels the need for a functional
text-mode interface, he should write it.  I've felt a need for such a
thing myself while fiddling with kernels that don't have video
support.  Believe it or not, there *is* room in Plan 9 for additions
and improvements.
