Something 'deeper' than Emacs, or am I looking for a unicorn?

Hey all - I really love emacs as a text editor and environment, but I'm wondering... Does there exist something that is

- More customizable than emacs

- more mature community and 'giants to stand on' (like packages)

- Stronger expected lifespan

- Realistic enough to actually commit to (not like, build the universe, build your OS from scratch)

I'd love to hear if there's anything you've found beyond the Mariana Trench! Will

If you've been on a long journey of trying different apps, you may just be restless now that you've found a tool that mostly works. Stick with emacs, use your extremely limited remaining time on earth to do awesome things.

Emacs is more than enough, you do need more than 1 app.
