I actually laughed out loud when I read this. Emacs invented the extensible text editor. Emacs was very popular for a long time. It's less popular today, but it's the original prototype for Visual Studio Code and every other text editor "built around extensions". Not a MacOS-only proprietary text editor written in C++ and released in 2004.
