Acme does this, and I love it, but most people's response to seeing Acme is "what the hell? No syntax highlighting? No autocomplete?" You can also easily create a second "view" into a file with the Zerox command, which is a nice way to look at two parts of a file at once.

It's the best thing I've found for managing large numbers of buffers at once, though, and with things like acmego (go fmt + add missing imports on save) and Go guru integration (jump straight to function definition) it suits my needs pretty well.

Emacs has this too. You can look at a buffer from different windows, or clone-indirect-buffer in order to edit multiple parts of it simultaneously.

You're right, it's been so long since I used emacs I forgot it's a thing. Vim does it too, I think, but I only use vim to quickly edit a file.

Just about every other editor does this. That's why I miss it!
