At least until somebody convinces me that FSFmacs is stable enough to
change to...
I switched to GNU emacs a couple of months ago. Here are my observations
concerning the packages I use most.
- auctex: more stable in GNU emacs: but to be fair the culprit
could be x-symbol which slowed down things quite a bit. GNU emacs (25)
has now something similar called tex-prettify, which is a bit
uglier but much faster, since it uses overlays.
- gnus: faster in GNU emacs.
- org: mode: no difference.
In any case in all three cases GNU emacs provides more features than in
Xemacs, because almost all developers are GNU emacs users and when they
could not add a feature easily in xemacs the left it out with a
(if (featurep 'xemacs))
Last not least UFT-8 support is better in GNU emacs (and it has BIDI
support).
