Don't forget: it can be arbitrarily extended in a popular programming language and it has an unrestricted free trial.

ST or Emacs?

ST. Python is the popular language. Elisp is... not popular. But you can do CL in emacs.

As an aside I found the Leo editor not too long ago. http://leoeditor.com/ -- one of the few editors that made me think "that is a little new". Leo is implemented in Python.

I wish there was a modern equivalent of emacs, only all Python. :)

Yuck. I prefer what Neovim did: editor comminicates using RPCs with arbitrary external programs using over a socket. Zero language lock-in and maximum extensibility.

Addendum: then again, you could use Python to do that.
