AFAIK this not correct: XEmacs has this nifty net-installer ported from Cygwin
to the needs of XEmacs whereas GNU Emacs must still be installed by
downloading one big archive (regardless of source-distrib or precompiled
binaries), extracing it, reading the READMe and so on...
Though i prefer GNU Emacs as editor IMHO the installation of XEmacs is much
more convenient than GNU Emacs (ok, i must admit, downloading the archive,
extracting it and some small steps more are not really difficult but
nevertheless.... :-)
Of course all this is only related to Windows systems!

apt-get install emacs21
.. and then apt-get install any of the Emacs packages I want, or
download the .els or source archives and play with them myself.
I love Debian. =)
I understand that the binary distribution of Emacs is also easy to
install if you're using RPMs.

Actually Emacs is (3 packages) in the standard Cygwin install nowadays...

Oooops... AFAIK there is no official release port of GNU Emacs to Cygwin...
Is this not true anymore?? Is there now an official port of GNU Emacs 21.X to
cygwin (downloadable binaries build with cygwin and installable by the cygwin
setup)?

I did find a cygwin release, in a local mirror ftp site, which
contains Emacs-21.2-7 of both its source and pre-complied
binaries. The cygwin as a whole can be net-installed by a setup.exe,
though the default options are set to exclude the Emacs.
You may check it by visiting the wet site of RedHat.

Well, what's "offocial"? :)) Emacs is in the standard cygwin package
hirarchy nowadays (but yes, only recently added).
It needs some patching and apparently the company who's employee fixed
it for cygwin is somewhat slow to sign the copyright assignments to
FSF... (Which is not so strange if it's their first time:)
Greetings,
Jochen

Wow. Just tried it:
In GNU Emacs 21.2 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit)
of 2002-09-12 on hestia
configured using `configure \
--prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sysconfdir=/etc \
--libexecdir=/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/var \
--datadir=/usr/share --without-toolkit-scroll-bars'
...
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: C
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
GNU Emacs 21.2 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2002-09-12 on hestia
It works really out of the box. Anyway this is not a NTEmacs. This is
a cygwin emacs that is compiled with the cygwin library. NTEmacs is
compiled with the -mno-cygwin flag. The cygwin emacs is a pure X11
emacs. Anyway it might be useful for debugging NTEmacs with gdb. (Do
you remember the long discussion between Eli and Stefan for some
months.)

I built emacs21 on an NT a few months ago---using cygwin tools.. it
had pretty good instructions on how to go about it.
Also, the cygwin install itself probably has an "install emacs"
option--but now sure about that..

As far as installation goes, I'd definitely say that XEmacs is easier.
Especially, for packages and when you run into problems. But, I use
both now.
