Besides the fact that Emacs (Editing Macros) was originally editing
macros for Teco.

dict teco:

     Emacs has an entire {Lisp} system inside it.  It was
     originally written in {TECO} under {ITS} at the {MIT} {AI
     lab}.  AI Memo 554 described it as "an advanced,
     self-documenting, customisable, extensible real-time display
     editor". 

Pretty much verbatim from the Jargon file.
