I think you can say the same thing about http://leoeditor.com/ just not
to quite the same degree as Vim and Emacs.  Leo is decades old (not the
current code-base though ;-), free software, cross-platform,
powerfully extensible, already adapted to countless editing tasks out
of the box, and has a passionate community.  Leo is not as old, doesn't
have as large a community, and would have a shorter list of out of the
box editing tasks than Emacs / Vim, but if you want an extensible tool
you can live in and in particular if you use Python / PyQt, you'll
probably be able to extend it to your specific needs with a lower
learning curve than Emacs (which I used for years) or Vim, which I
haven't used.

And, to stay on topic :-) it has rst integration.
