Russ Cox gives a 23-minute tour of the Acme text editor from Plan 9, showing its mouse-driven interface, executing commands from text, and its filesystem-based interface to other programs.
Why HN recommends it: HN points people to it as the best introduction to Acme and its very different take on editors, shells, and GUIs.
