For those strictly interested in EMACS, there's the one from Unipress.
It's expensive (I'm not sure, but I think the going rate is about $500)
and very slow on the PC.  I found it barely acceptable on an AT.  On the
other hand, it is a complete Stallman EMACS implementation.

I use Epsilon (an EMACS clone) and am extremely satisfied.  It's blindingly
fast, has a C-like extension language, has a concurrent process buffer,
and (at least v3.05) seems to have no bugs or problems that I know of.
Cost is $195 from Lugaru Software Ltd, 5740 Darlington Rd., Pittsburgh
PA 15217.  (Ph (412) 421-5911).  Epsilon is also available from mail-order
houses.  Check PC Week or Dr. Dobbs.  Make sure you get 3.05.  Older
versions lack some of really impressive features.

Gary.
