I don’t consider emacs as a text editor but rather a shell, a UI, a
environment, system. And emacs-lisp is the main (currently only)
language to program using this amazing UI, system, environment, shell,
etc..
Just as if you take lisp machine lisp, and remove the lisp machine, the
kernel, all I/O, etc. you removes its utility as lisp machine extension
language.
