Sam is the preferred text editor of several eminent programmers. It was the first full screen editor Ken Thompson liked.[3] Sam is the text editor used by Bjarne Stroustrup,[4] Brian Kernighan,[5][6] Douglas McIlroy and Tom Duff.[citation needed] Others, like Dennis Ritchie, Rob Pike and Russ Cox, have transitioned to acme, an editor with the same command language as sam, but with an assortment of additional features, including mouse chording and automatic tiling of opened files.
