I've tried XEmacs a couple of times, when forced to run on a Windows box, since it was a little faster and shipped with nice gadgets, but I switch back to Emacs as soon as I was able to get a Unix desktop, and then I never used XEmacs anymore. As others, I feel that today Emacs has catched up XEmacs and is much more superior, so I don't see myself switching to XEmacs again in the near future. Luca
