No, that's not quite right. Doom was ported to NeXTstep by Omni, and I
don't think there were ever any OpenStep editors. In fact, Doom came
out a long time before OpenStep AFAIK. I think you might be thinking of
Nuclear Strike or whatever it was called. See

Finlay,
EriK is correct.
Doom was indeed written on NeXTStep, and I and several others of the old
NeXT crowd know Carmack personally. (I believe that includes Erik, but
I'm not certain.) I've never met him in person, but we've had several
phone conversations. He gave one of those historic NeXT machines to a
friend of mine, after mentioning to me that he had a few slabs gathering
dust and that he'd be willing to give them away to a good home.
