Yes, it is too general for public. I am using Emacs to make
applications within Emacs.
We can see that Tetris, Pong and other games can be made within
Emacs, so it is foundation for development.
Maybe Emacs does not fit anywhere into any known group, it may be
unique.
It is used as IDE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment
What I wish to say, it is platform for development of applications
that run within Emacs. Maybe it is not common to develop full
applications in Emacs Lisp, but that is what it is for me.
How to name it? Hard to say.
Jean
