I'll try to allocate time for this.
I did write my own editor in C and it was delightful and it addressed my pet peeve with Emacs: the two wasted lines at the bottom (on small devices every single line matters). However I don't actually use it myself because it's missing too many essential features and it would take too long to write them. Also, cross compiling C for multiple platforms is actually tedious due to silly differences between eg. macOS and Linux.
The holy grail for me is still the editor from BLS Pascal which was a full screen editor in about 2 KiB of Z80 machine code. I'm still not sure how Anders managed so much functionality in so little code, but there's just a few little things I wanted differently (which as having Enter split lines and delete joining them).
