    <p>The answer to the question of which editor is better for writing C++ code is that for that functionality, there is practically no difference. What one has, the other has similar functions. You pick and choose the one you like.</p> <p>There are differences between them, and for certain tasks one might be better better than the other. For example, Mule, the XEmacs implementation for multilingual files; XEmacs got it right, and Emacs still has trouble with some aspects of that. It depends on the task. Each is better at some tasks, and for many tasks, there is no practical difference. </p> <p>As far as XEmacs not being actively developed--My son and I wrote a lisp program to implement icon themes in the last year. We also wrote a buffer-colors program to make it easy to change colors in different buffers, both rule-based, and arbitrarily chosen colors. Neither of those packages exist in Emacs the same way. We also rewrote the xpm-mode, taking it from 400 lines to over 2000 lines of code, adding support for alpha layers, gradient fills, improved the display, added more tools (mouse cursor tools, like a paintbrush) and a new icon bar to run everything from and more... just last summer. Much better tool for making and editing icons (and other types of xpm's). Emacs doesn't have that yet, though they certainly could port it over. </p> <p>I'm just saying, XEmacs development has slowed down a lot, but it <em>is</em> still being developed. </p> <p>Choose the editor you like based on the task at hand--not on which one people say is no longer being developed!</p>
