Sensible enough. My experience with trying to support both emacs is that it's often small differences which cause problems rather than missing features. For one package I wrote, I spent an hour trying to debug an XEmacs problem which turned out to be because the `subseq' function behaves differently between the two. What a nightmare! In general, now, I write for GNU Emacs. If it's a nice package, someone will port it to XEmacs sooner or later.
