Ever other editor has a programming language for modifying it. What makes emacs special? couldn't you script all those other editors to do the same things?
I'd certainly feel my editor was amazing if I scripting 50 custom features but I wouldn't consider my editor better if I can script those same 50 features in any editor. I'd just consider the cost of switching high and not confuse that with whether one editor is better than another.
