I've been using emacs since 18.57 / 1988.  I switched to Lucid and then xem=
acs for many years but switched to gnu almost 2 years ago (Linux, Mac, Win)=
.  The support/development of xemacs has pretty much dried up and many of t=
he packages I wanted to use no longer are compatible with xemacs.  It didn'=
t take long to convert all my customizations and it's been great.  Many com=
puter-intensive operations (e.g. re-indenting large files) are at least an =
order of magnitude faster!
