The official word is:
GNU Emacs == generic branding - XEmacs and Emacs both apply
Emacs == that version of emacs maintained by RMS and dist. by FSF/GNU
XEmacs == the cool wizzy one :)
xemacs == a horrible typo that will cause you to be shot
Xemacs == a horrible typo that will cause you to be shot
From the words of RMS hisself from all the flamewars on the xemacs-beta
list and private email. Wheee fun.
