I know it is mostly personal preference, but what parts of xemacs are notably
more pleasing visually?
I have just switched to a back-ported Emacs 24.3.1 and noticed that the GTK+3
scrollbars became pretty nice and had the thought that 'Hey, it looks
quite OK now!'.
Maybe if you point out some visual issues which are solved in XEmacs, GNU Emacs
developers would pick those up.

Cheers,
Balint
