I was thinking XEmacs was died too, glad to see it is the opposite.
I've tried XEmacs a couple of times, when forced to run on a Windows
box, since it was a little faster and shipped with nice gadgets, but I
switch back to Emacs as soon as I was able to get a Unix desktop, and
then I never used XEmacs anymore.
As others, I feel that today Emacs has catched up XEmacs and is much
more superior, so I don't see myself switching to XEmacs again in the
near future.
