Automatic indentation is only one aspect of Emacs modes, and as far as I am concerned not nearly the most important one.
Here's a quick test: put the cursor in front of a triple-quoted string, then hit Control-Alt-F (forward-sexp). It should move just after the whole string. Does it?
Yes, it does. But I don't think we should be limiting our language by what Emacs does.
Any tool which assumes strings are delimited by a single front delimiter and a single end delimiter, which they are in most reasonable languages, will have trouble.
Then the tools are buggy. What sort of tools are you thinking of here?
