Yes and no. Personally, I'm spending a fair amount of time dealing with
the packages that I own, but a lot of that has to do with infrastructure
problems over the past few years and the fact that I'm still fairly new
at this. On the other hand, if I weren't working on packages, I
probably wouldn't be spending much time on new features, because XEmacs
already does more or less what I want from it.
The backside of this its-already-all-done-for-you approach, which
packages seems to implement, outweights its benefits.
I don't think the evidence supports that conclusion.
