It already exists and is called the Intellij Platform. It's open source and the base for all Jetbrains IDEs, see:

Since 15 it also works damn near flawlessly for me on Ultimate, they also seem to be faster on getting the plugins upto date with the individual IDE's which is a major win for me.

Current project I'm using PHP and Python for different parts and it is absolutely flawless, also if anyone hasn't used them Facets and Aspects are incredible!

Cursive Clojure is also built on the Intellij Platform.
