Any sufficiently complicated editor contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of emacs? I prefer vim though..

  Vim ain't sufficiently complicated (that can arguably be seen as a good thing). That's why it's been mostly reimplemented in Emacs.

    Vim has vimscript (ugh) with a lua and python gaining popularity so emacs sort of got it right IMO anyways.

      Neovim's main goal seems to be replacing vimscript with lua in a backwards-compatible way.

  Any editor is simply a graphical frontend to ed, even vim.
