The main benefit of xtla in comparison with another front-end is that
it's well integrated in the editor itself. If you like Emacs, you
should like xtla. If you don't use Emacs, then learning Emacs + xtla
will be a big investment in comparison to the benefits, clearly.
The great thing with a front-end integrated in your editor is that you
can switch from revision-control oriented and editting oriented tasks
easily. For example, while viewing changes with M-x tla-changes RET,
just press RET to jump to the right line of the right file and start
editting it. While editting, M-x tla-file-ediff RET will open a ediff
(graphical diff in Emacs) session for the current file.

Yes and no. There are a few concepts in xtla that I think are good,
and reuseable in a GUI (bookmarks, M-x tla-browse for the archive
browser, revision list interface).
