Vim supports plugins written in vim-script language (basically the same 
language as the ex-commands you type after hitting the colon key). That 
language is wonderfully supple and powerful for _text_ editing purposes 
but it doesn't support pictures and it doesn't support having 
different-size fonts at different places of the Vim screen (not 
including, in gvim, the menu font and the tooltip font, which are 
handled by the OS). If you want a 1px font, you can have it, but then 
_all_ of gvim will render _all_ your text in _all_ your split windows in 
a 1px font size, which I doubt you would find useful for editing.

Maybe Emacs does it, that doesn't mean we have to ape it. Emacs can host 
a shell in a split-window, Bram has firmly set his foot down, and 
mainline Vim shall never do that. Emacs may include everything and the 
kitchen sink, Vim doesn't, but you can clean yours with it.
