This makes me think - is there any reason you couldn't compile Emacs or Vim in Emscripten, and adapt it for the web? Maybe with some kind of in-browser terminal emulator? Quick googling suggests no one has tried this yet... I find that surprising.
(The Vim bindings in CodeMirror[1] are surprisingly decent, but it's still not the real thing.)
