This is not necesarily the case.  I wrote a major mode for axiom for gnu emacs,
and I know of one axiom developer who would like to use it, but he is bound to
xemacs.  I found it already difficult enough to get it working for gnus emacs,
and definitively don't want to take the time to port it to xemacs, at least not
on my own.

I guess at some point it will happen, but I suspect that for people in the know
it would be a matter of a few hours.
