XEmacs does not have as many developers as GNU Emacs. In fact the
development is inactive for a long time. I guess it is now better to use
GNU Emacs as it is better.
Yeah, there does seem to be a stagnation of late, with references to
that effect on the relevant usenet groups.
There was some leapfrogging between the two for a while, but emacs seems
to have taken a steady and prolonged leap in front.
