 XEmacs was a branch version of Emacs that is no longer actively

-many important features that exist in Emacs.  In the past, it was not
-uncommon for Emacs packages to include code for compatibility with
-XEmacs.  Nowadays, although some packages still maintain such
-compatibility code, several of the more popular built-in and third
-party packages have either stopped supporting XEmacs or were developed
-exclusively for Emacs.
