I agree! Dr. Mark Boyd and I have  just spent the  past several months
immersed in  GNU, Freemacs, MicroEmacs  and several comercial variants
while writing THE  UNIX DESKTOP GUIDE TO  EMACS (out  in  August  from
Howard W. Sams). In my personal setup (I'm a full-time  writer) I have
both a  Unix system and several DOS  boxes. I use  Freemacs on DOS and
GNU on Unix. If there is a DOS file > 64K to  edit,  just ship it over
to the Unix side ;-).

So, for what it's worth, there you have my preference.
