No worries. Having used Xemacs for years I now use Emacs myself. There
was a time when Xemacs was way ahead of Emacs but no more. But Xemacs
still has loyal users.
I suspect that one reason for sticking with Xemacs now is lots of little
customizations and tweaks which don't easily transfer to Gnu Emacs - the
same reason why I wouldn't willingly swap my init.el for yours, because
it would change the way I work.
