Practically, the difference lies between "gloss" and clean/fast, at
least in the older versions.
I can't think of any other issue that is practical, in deciding
between them. Most of the XEmacs features (along with "more"), were
incorporates in the Emacs 21.x series.
I think XEmacs is more user friendly and better (I'm not sure how well
Emacs handles color within terminal shells, which is important for me,
probably not for others), but I'm severely biased, so be a Bayesian
about the information.
Emacs is fine and acceptable.
best,
