Here is a list of some of the advantages of XEmacs over
GNU Emacs (from the XEmacs FAQ http://www.xemacs.org/faq/xemacs-faq.html):

* It looks nicer. 
* The XEmacs maintainers are generally more receptive to suggestions than the GNU Emacs
  maintainers. 
* Many more bundled packages than GNU Emacs 
* Binaries are available for many common operating systems. 
* Face support on TTY's. 
* A built-in toolbar. 
* Better Motif compliance. 
* Some internationalization support (including full MULE support, if compiled with it.) 
* Variable-width fonts. 
* Variable-height lines. 
* Marginal annotations. 
* ToolTalk support. 
* XEmacs can be used as an Xt widget, and can be embedded within another application. 
* Horizontal and vertical scrollbars (using real toolkit scrollbars). 
* Better APIs (and performance) for attaching fonts, colors, and other properties
  to text. 
* The ability to embed arbitrary graphics in a buffer. 
* Completely compatible (at the C level) with the Xt-based toolkits. 
* First production Web Browser supporting Style Sheets.
