For what? If you would like to use a terminal, you should use 'win'.
I'm afraid I will fail your wishes.
I think Acme has a quite consistent UI with lot of wonderful ideas, I'm
just going to add a graphics support and make some usability improvements
I suppose are helpful (like a fullscreen mode, rows, maybe multiline tags,
etc. ).
The backward compatibility with Acme is going to be stored as far as
possible.

I think a such kind of things will be implemented.
