Oh, I thought it would have something to do with Lisp because of the
chosen name. - And Wikipedia seems to support that; "Emacs Lisp is a
Lisp dialect made for Emacs."

(For discussion of programming languages; that's not the appropriate
newsgroups. I spare me a comment.)

I think it's better to use an existing script language in case any
tool wants to support scripting than to invent an own language.

Concerning Vim you can read it supports: "scripting languages (both
native and through alternative scripting interpreters such as Perl,
Python, Ruby, Tcl, etc.) including support for plugins". - Sounds
extremely flexible and powerful to me. And obviously also provides
choices for folks that don't like Elisp (or Lisp, or any scripting
language that is unknown to them).

But I anyway never felt the need to do any scripting [with script
languages] in Vim; it has (already natively) an extremely powerful
concept and editing feature set.

If the quote above is correct then Vim would clearly be such a
candidate. (It sounds even much better than what Emacs does with
its own implemented language dialect. - Not that I would care.)

(And in Vim you might not need Scripting that often as in Emacs?)[*]

I'm anyway not interested in starting or continuing the Editor War.
(And, to be honest, even less so with any "religious" fanatics that
we often find in Usenet.)[**]

Janis

[*] I recall someone in Usenet - it might even have been you? - showed
some Lisp-like code (15-20 lines, or so) for Emacs to support some new
function in Emacs. Vim supported that already natively.

[**] Personally I acknowledge that Emacs is a powerful editor; and it
even offers much more beyond editing. Concerning the _editing power_
I'd never trade Vim for Emacs, though. YMMV
