I understand the choices you've made. I wouldn't make them myself, but I can tell my needs aren't as complex as yours (appreciate that you haven't had to resort to anything that only runs in a browser). The emacs buffer abstraction (and bag of commands) is what makes it so good for me. Having everything in one place is great, and having everything (mostly) just text is also great. I hope more people with your type of workflow needs have the patience and free time to write good emacs packages.
