It's a text-mode editor. quod erat demonstrandum.
It works in a terminal, yeah, but it's had an operable GUI (a few,
really) for a very long time. It has icons, buttons, menus, and all
that jazz.
Here are some screenshots of ECB (Emacs Code Browser), for example:

People write games in emacs (e.g. http://ulf.epplejasper.de/
EmacsBubblesScreenshots.html ).
There used to be a full graphical web browser in emacs (images and
everything), though it looks like it may have fallen by the wayside.

I'm an OSX user, so i use Aquamacs, but i have to assume that these
aged innovations have made it to the Windows platform as well.
I mean, yeah, it edits text, but it's not just a text-mode editor.
