My guess would be that he likes inline images, but for whatever
reason, doesn't like the rest of XEmacs.  For me, the large numbers of
differences between Emacs and XEmacs annoy the hell out of me and I
find my blood pressure increasing way too much... I know Emacs very
well, and would have to spend so much time learning the changes in
XEmacs that it's not worth it for me.  It's not that XEmacs has any
major flaws, but just billions of little differences.  Way too much
for me to worry about for the sake of proportional fonts and inline
images (for which I can wait until Emacs 20.5).
