Bill De Hora said I once described EClipse as a $40M port of EMacs to an [IBMer] - which don't go down too well. But that occurs to me that Firefox with its plugin approach is not a dissimiliar way of manging things to Eclipse. Now, you can make deep alterations in Emacs, given its LisP-fu nature. Powerful, but you might end up mortally wounded. The Eclipse/MozIlla approach to this seems to be different - don't muck with the core and make sure you don't have to by keeping it very small and manage extensibility via plugins. I think you can characterize that as more directing and structured than the Emacs approach.
