Mostly the issues are political.  Technical aspects have slowly emerged
from that.

>From a user point of view they are very similar, and I think anything you
can do in one can be done in the other with tweaking.  I think the biggest
difference is that a package written for one may not be available for the
other.

I tend to use which ever one was released most recently.  In this case I
feel that emacs21 is "ahead" of xemacs21 or whatever number they are on.

HTH,
Jason
