In the opposite direction of your preference for a native environment:
A port of 9front sam (with chording) to unix is available at
https://bitbucket.org/iru/sam9f-unix/src/default/
I use it as a drop-in replacement for the plan9port version.
it has given me the best text editing and programming
experience i've ever had.
For most types of editing I have come to prefer it over acme. The one
modification I should, perhaps, like to see is the possibility to
scroll the window while selecting. Rob Pike has made some comments on
the difficulty here; see the quotations and links in the discussion at
https://github.com/deadpixi/sam/issues/85
(incidentally, on the github pages of another fairly recent port of sam.)
A proposal for a (GSOC) project to improve sam scrolling:
