I find configuring it is easier, since it has most of the customization options available under a menu. Also, it seems like the program is more oriented towards use under X, taking advantage of the mouse and separate windows for opening files and such. Most importantly, however, is the context-sensitive menus available with XEmacs. For doing SGML editing it's a godsend, being able to right-click anywhere and instantly get a menu of the legal tags available at the point. I also find it helpful for HTML, and somewhat with programming. However I still use Vim for my mail and small file editing, XEmacs is too large to use for every single editing task. Just my $0.02, MBG -- "Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here." -Douglas Adams 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe'
