Android Question AppCompat ACEditText, etc, versus standard EditText

I'm using AppCompat in my app with a custom theme and as far as I can tell, it seems to have a material design look-and-feel. When adding EditText and other standard Views to an Activity, I notice I also have AppCompat versions of these views, e.g. ACEditText, etc. But I can't see any difference between an EditText and an ACEditText. Is there a difference?

The AppCompat versions of the views will bring the design to older Android versions.
If you use the standard views you will get an "old" design on Android versions below Lollipop.
