You are confusing line editor with command-line editors. If you interpret command-line editor as editing the command line, emacs has eshell. If you interpret it as an editor from a terminal, it's that, too.

If you mean "line editor", emacs has batch mode.

Aren't all "line editors" also "command line editors"? Either way, that is not my point. I just wanted to point out that Emacs shoudln't be boxed into the same category as Vim, because while Vim ist most commonly used in a terminal, Emacs isn't.
