My list of bugs we ought to fix for 21.0 are:
a) frame size bug which means file open from the toolbar doesn't work.
b) frame size bugs for new frames (default-plist not honoured)
c) default frame size
d) right mouse menus in customize.
I believe Kirill is working on (a) & (b). At least I hope so since we will
get laughed at if they are not fixed.
(c) is not necessarily a bug but I think we will also get laughed at if it
is not changed in some way. More importantly many packages make assumptions
about the size of xemacs frames. Hands up anyone who uses the default size?
d) broke recently but also makes customize unuseable which is bad.
I have not had XEmacs crash on me for a long while. My only niggle is that
I need to implement non-blocking connect and callproc stuff for cygwin.
Doing network things when the network is down locks up XEmacs tight
currently. I;ll do this for 21.1
