I prefer mg, but I'm the author of that > particular version of microemacs. why xemacs? well, from my experience w/ (x)emacs during stay at university, emacs had too big default font (like large print book editions), and xemacs used to have smaller font (like stock listings or classifieds in newspaper). in addition, i wasn just plain unaware of any other emacs-like editors. anyway, i will checkout other smaller editors from the ports. > BTW, it looks like what's really going on is that it's testing for > enriched-text to see if xemacs-packages has been loaded or not, as the > only things that list it in their plist appear to be emacs fof various > versions.
