What happened to Coding Applications GNU Emac and Vim of GNOME?

I installed all including EMAC, Scribus and Inkscape.
 
They are very heavy and that is why they are not included in Desktop Editions.

My suggestion is somebody not Fedora should make a distribution incorporating these Utilities and name the distribution appropriately.
My suggestions are:
Geometry in Action
Coding for the Brave
Science in Action
Insights in Linux
New Frontiers 
Linux Never Miss

When I install GNOME Desktop, I do not find Vim or GNU Emac incorporated with it.
I do not do any Coding at all but nevertheless, it is a routine for me to install LyX.
I did not have the time to invest on LateX or Vim as a medical guy doing on call duty.

My time on Latex was limited.
It had the best page layout.
Then of course, I quickly realized AbiWord would  do me honours when writing my books.

LyX was the closest substitute to Latex.
Now that I am finishing my books on a leisurely fashion, I me revisit Vim.

Let me list a few of those coding applications.
1. Gambas3 is a good choice.
Yes, Visual Basic of Linux.
2. LyX as mentioned above.
3. Vi Improved of Vim.
4. Neovim
Never tried it.
5. Bluefish
That is the one I used during 32 bit days.
6. Xournal Editor

By the way little Editors can do the work.
1. Gedit
2. Geany
3. Gnome Edit
4. Jedi
5. Joe's Editor 
 
I went into bit of Panic Mode since I could not install Enlightenment Desktop under GNOME
IceWM was there but not Enlightenment.
I even queried AI and AI said whatever it is, it has to be temporary (either maintenance or some uodstes).

Yes, AI is right it is back.
