That's my biggest issue with Emacs: there are more than one million lines of elisp in circulation. There isn't going to be any text editor come anywhere close

That's my biggest issue with Emacs: there are more than one million lines of elisp in circulation. There isn't going to be any text editor come anywhere close to that. I need something "programmable" so I'm "stuck" with Emacs. I'm a bit bitter because sometimes (often actually) I wish Emacs was multi-threaded, easier to interface with externals tools (to make it a bit more like an IDE) -- that is, able to quickly invoke external tools without blocking everything etc. But I realize that Emacs is soooo big that it's probably going to take a long time before we see a "modern" Emacs.

I don't know about Emacs 25, but I did manage to merge trunk to the concurrency branch today. If you're interested you could try it out. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-12/msg00465.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-12/msg004... it looks like Emacs should soon (?) support concurrency
