Two things come to mind.  First, Epoch makes it much easier to customize
key bindings, especially for function keys, than does xemacs.  See the
function epoch::rebind-key.  (I have a file that describes how to take
advantage of Epoch's key-binding abilities, but the sample code in it is
specific to Sun-4 keyboards.  I'll send this file to you if you like.)

Second is Epoch's ability to apply multiple styles (fonts and colors) to
the same buffer.  I have epoch set up to display my C++ comments in bold
font, and the module headers in dark blue--similar settings for other
types of buffers.  There are two similar packages to do this; I use
Hilit, and can send you a copy if you need it.  The other is called
LiteBrite; Marc Andreessen (marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu) wrote it and can
probably send you a copy.

All in all Epoch is terrific;  Emacs 19 (IF we ever see it) is going to
have to be damn good to beat Epoch.
