That's really putting it mildly. Being able to evaluate any valid elisp form anywhere, directly or from a buffer, and affect the running state of the application, is pretty damn powerful. There is a point where the quantitative difference ("more" extension points) becomes so overwhelmingly large as to become a qualitative leap.

That's possible in vim too. You can manipulate variables (end redefine functions if you're sadistic) in ex commands. Similarly, every time I save a vimL file it parses and updates running scripts.
