Emacs is more like an Elisp programming environment that happens to have a text editor built in. And a window manager, process manager, shell, terminal multiplexer, async event loop, cross-platform OS APIs, debugger, a bazillion libraries for everything you could need. Just to see how far one can go I cobbled together a few libraries one afternoon and wrote a Dockerfile that enables one to write web applications in Elisp: https://github.com/agentultra/Dockmacs https://github.com/agentultra/Dockmacs I'm having trouble finding them but I've read stories of hackers developing and deploying useful applications they built in emacs to end users. I don't know that I'd go that far but... you do get cross-platform GUI controls so it doesn't seem impossible for simple, straight forward tools.
