A few reasons. First, I'm the gnu-emacs maintainer here at the CMU
SCS, and I figured I should really be using what I'm attempting to
support. So, I compiled up the latest version and tried it out.
Well, I'd forgotten just how much faster Emacs is than XEmacs--on both
X and non X stuff. So, I completely switched back. The main things I
miss are the better font support in XEmacs (multiple height fonts in
one window), and more importantly, the ability to attach to a
currently running Emacs session.
I use a local communication tool that displays messages in an emacs
buffer, and I like to leave this tool running when I'm gone. It's
tremendously useful to be able to attach to the emacs with this in it
when I'm home, so I can see what's been going on while I was away.
I'm getting used to not being able to do that.
Still--FSF is a great deal faster. And I like that.
John.
