I would love to see a project that rebuilds the Emacs UI but keeps the underlying core to give it a modern facelift, some things in emacs blend together and are a pain for my eyes to figure out whats what. It would be nice if the UI was modernized but the core was left as-is. I'm reminded of some of my favorite editors that are niche being Lisp related ones, where if you held down ctrl it would show you shortcuts in the UI itself and what they lead to. I also always enjoyed Racket's import arrows and other small things that are visually amazingly impressive despite being so simple.

It's not exactly what you're looking for but you might be interested in Lem[0]. It's an emacs-style editor but written completely in Common Lisp on top of curses/SDL2. I haven't used it that much (same for Emacs itself, really), but it looks like a very solid foundation

Does look interesting, in the meantime I've been hooked on Zed which has users building support for missing Vim features, they claim their goal isn't to 100% emulate Vim functionality, but I would not be shocked if it just winds up having most if not everything most people like about Vim fully baked in.
