Message-ID: <013b01c084a3$8f476390$84340aa9@mmm.com> (raw)
XEmacs and GNU emacs are different in many ways. I switched to XEmacs a few
years ago and then switched back to GNU emacs. Some differences of note:
- There are subtle differences in the LISP code. You may have to make
changes to your .emacs file.
- XEmacs is also considerbly slower to load and perform other tasks.
- XEmacs does not have the ctrl-<left click> buffer menu.
- Lots of other small differences in the interface
