In the old vi-vs.-EMACS flamewars it was often claimed by vi advocates
that EMACS' larger memory footprint and greater attempted
extensibility made it basically a replacement operating system.  See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war .

While you're hanging around wikipedia learning about ancient religious
wars, you might also want to look into
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_years%27_war and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussite_war -- those two are almost as
dated as this one...  : )
