Another reply listed the advantages of xemacs over emacs. So I'll take
the other side.
My experience is the opposite of yours: I started with xemacs and then
switched to emacs. My primary reason for doing so was that so many
more people are using emacs that it's a lot easier to get help, and
the contributed packages I wanted to use tended to work better with
emacs. Emacs is available everywhere, including on my ISP, so my
(still mimimal) expertise transfers, I can use the same .emacs file
everywhere, etc.
