This certainly appeals to me.
I've had to stop upgrading slime because too many emacisms have
slipped in that don't work on xemacs. I can live without lots of
packages, but I really need (well, want) GNUS, slime, C-mode,
javascript mode, git.el, and VC to work.
I did try switching to emacs a while ago, just to see. There were too
many differences between the two[1] that I just gave up because xemacs
just works.
Footnotes:
[1] Don't remember exactly what, but my existing (messy) .xemacs
directory didn't move over very cleanly.
