Tuxman:
Now that's old. :P
There's also XEmacs branch for those who have not memorized the Emacs key bindings.-MilesAhead (September 20, 2013, 10:31 AM)

With GNU Emacs 23/24, the differences between those two are almost gone, except for some font rendering. :)

Multiple cursors by just clicking into the text can be used in Emacs too, thanks to the multiple-cursors package.

I saw this in an Emacs Rocks! video but have yet to try it...if you are already a user, do you find it to be worthwhile?
Tuxman:
Yes, especially since you can bind all functions to mouse keys. :) More flexible than ST once it's done.

I still see no reason not to let people know XEmacs is out there. When I get my own machine again maybe I'll try the beta with Inno Setup install. I just hope by then it's not stable rather than beta :)
