  There aren't many text editors even today that reach the same level
of expressiveness.

  Most software development IDEs have editors that do a lot of things
(like syntax highlighting and such) but are not even nearly as powerful
as emacs. (The most annoying thing that they usually lack is the same
kind of autoindentation as emacs has had for centuries.)
