You're thinking of Emacs. Vim, internally and externally, is a
monolithic mess (I'm no Emacs appologist, by the way). It's got
scripting languages and knobs and bells and whistles and chimes
and thorns cyanide. But it's not a platform. It's an editor that
you can try to mangle to behave in ways it normally wouldn't.
Emacs, though, is an OS, which has some editor functionality.
It's a platform on which to build an editor. It's also large,
complex, and beyond my ability to wield.
