What is the difference between Emacs and XEmacs (formerly Lucid Emacs)?
GNU Emacs FAQXEmacs is a branch version of Emacs. It was first called Lucid Emacs, and was initially derived from a prerelease version of Emacs 19. In this FAQ, we use the name “Emacs” only for the official version. Emacs and XEmacs each come with Lisp packages that are lacking in the other. The two versions have some significant differences at the Lisp programming level.

Related QuestionsQ1.0.5: Why Haven't XEmacs and GNU Emacs Merged?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacsThere are currently irreconcilable differences in the views about technical, programming, design and organizational matters between RMS and the XEmacs development team which provide little hope for a merge to take place in the short-term future. If you have a comment to add regarding the merge, it is a good idea to avoid posting to the newsgroups, because of the very heated flamewars that often result. Mail your questions to xemacs-beta@xemacs.org and bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.
Related QuestionsQ4.7.5: Is there a reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacsThe reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs is usually one or more of the following: The package has not been ported to XEmacs. This will typically happen when it uses GNU-Emacs-specific features, which make it fail under XEmacs. Porting a package to XEmacs can range from a trivial amount of change to a partial or full rewrite. Fortunately, the authors of modern packages usually choose to support both Emacsen themselves.
Related QuestionsQ1.6.2: How does XEmacs differ from GNU Emacs?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacs: IntroductionFor a detailed description of the differences between GNU Emacs and XEmacs and a detailed history of XEmacs, check out the User-Visible Editing Features XEmacs in general tries hard to conform to exist user-interface standards, and to work "out-of-the-box" without the need for obscure customization changes. GNU Emacs, particularly version 21, has gotten better about this (in many cases by copying the XEmacs behavior!), but still has some weirdnesses.
Related QuestionsQ1.6.5: What is the correct way to refer to XEmacs and GNU Emacs?
Frequently asked questions about XEmacs: IntroductionUnfortunately even the naming of these two applications has become politicized. Much of this stems from RMS, who has a history of politicizing similar issues. (Compare the controversy over "Lignux" and "GNU/Linux".) We would prefer that the terms "XEmacs" and "GNU Emacs" be used, which are neutral and acceptable to most people. RMS, however, is not willing to accept these terms.
