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!
