Emacs is basically a lisp interpreter packaged with a suite of "example" utilities, like a text editor. It's one of the two historical editors used as terminal IDEs, along with vim. Emacs tends to take a more batteries, kitchen sink, web browser, games, IRC client, etc-included approach. It can seriously be closer to an OS in functionality.
