So when I learned that there is Emacs 21 in my Debian stable, just disguised under different package name and not selected by default, I was so hyped over that it probably influenced my decision.
There were some threads about this on the xemacs-beta list started by JWZ.
The point is that I think XEmacs does have some problems with updating the display. However, I was a long time XEmacs user that switched to Emacs. – Dave Love I’m not actually going to make any claims. All but a couple of the tests are faster for me in “emacs21” than in “xemacs21-mule” in Debian Sarge x86. Either ignore the hanoi result or run the (old) version from XEmacs in Emacs. by turning off line-number-mode in Emacs. If you do, ensure you’re comparing like with like, e.g. You can run XEmacs’ bench.el in Emacs (with minor changes) as one example.
XEmacs maintainers have said so, for instance, but you might not believe them, and want experimental results like I once posted.
#Emacs for os x Patch
The released PSGML is slow setting Faces while parsing under Emacs because Emacs-specific code needs fixing there is a patch at – Dave Love Is there any support for this claim ? – AlexSchroeder Yes, that’s why I wrote it. No, Emacs doesn’t implement syntax tables in Lisp, in particular. BTW this is the only reason I’m keeping both editors installed. syntax tables) whereas GNU Emacs has them in lisp. If efficiency is important, use Emacs (– Anon) unless you happen to use PSGML, in which case it’s the reverse! That’s because XEmacs uses C implementations of some speed-critical data structures (e.g. One appeal of emacs is because emacs is mainly written in the language (e-lisp) that users can use to extend it there are a lot of scripts that add all sorts of functionality to the editor making it nearly as powerful as an ide. You can use a OSX GUI Emacs in the form of Aquamacs which is configured to be more OSX like it its key commands and menus and integrates with the OS.

An Editor for Text, HTML, LaTeX, C, Java, Python, R, Perl, Ruby, PHP, and more. I'm most interested to hear your thoughts on keybinding (and which Emacs distribution you use). There are a lot of ways to use emacs on Mac, from Aquamacs to Carbon Emacs to the Cocoa port of GNU Emacs. I'm slowly getting up to speed with Emacs, switching from TextMate. I never tried Emacs for OS X Modified or Aquamacs, but I see little use in the former (I am. If you want Emacs, but with as good OS X support as can be: Emacs Mac Port If you just want Emacs without any complications: Emacs for Mac OS X My personal advice. By “Aqua-native,” we mean more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application. Aquamacs (is an Aqua-native build of the powerful Emacs text editor. These days I can barely tell the difference unless I start getting into hairy macros, and I’ve rebound most of the default Emacs keys to emulate XEmacs anyways (M-g, etc). With the purchase of my first OS X machine, I found this (rather ironically) to be the exact opposite.
