I really appreciate everyone's responses to this question.  I was expecting to
get flamed by EMACS/Epoch/Lucid evangelists.  Thank you very much.  The
discussion has been very enlightening and I would be curious as to what
people who are working on the various versions are considering for rectifying
differences.  Although it is an explicitly stated principle, it seems to be the
attitude of most people involved in Free Software that a single REALLY good
version of something be done and then made REAL portable.  GCC is real good and
is used by EVERYBODY.  Except on the PCs, nobody seems to be doing anything
even remotely competitive with GCC.  (this is not a topic, it is just an 
example of the do-it-right-once principle.)  (I wasn't here, so I don't know,
but my guess is...) that Epoch and Lucid were originally designed to last until
EMACS 19 came out.  It seems foolish for their to be massive incompatibility
between them now if there is ever any hope of reintegrating the difference
versions.  I'm at the point of wanting to get one of these working on my
machine so that I can dive into EMACS seriously.  I'm less concerned about the
bugginess and featureness of the particular implementation than I am about the
longevity.  Who wants to learn something that they will not be valuable in the
longterm?
