As far as I can tell, the most visible difference is that Xemacs seems
to do a better job with handling fonts. To be more specific, Xemacs has
more beautiful fonts and lets you change default font size. But Emacs is
also good, and of course has the advantage of working on the command
line as well as in X. There's no reason why you can't install both,
since the commands are almost identical.
