At one point, there was substantial disagreement amongst the Emacs  
developers about how to add support for new windowing systems besides  
X11, and this ended up forking the project; for a while, XEmacs had  
much better native font-handling and color management on non-X11  
platforms like Windows, NEXTSTEP/MacOS X, etc.

Most of those changes have been reverse-merged into the main Emacs  
tree since, so the differences are no longer as significant.

Under the console or a normal terminal useage, there's no real  
difference.
