Which version of Epoch are you comparing here?  My experience with the
most recent (4.2) has been that it is essentially bug-free--only the
occasional display glitch and, once in a blue moon, a core dump (but no
more than plain ol' emacs 18.58).

I would suggest to the original poster that Epoch is the least painful
way to gain a more X-friendly Emacs--the upgrade from Emacs 18.58 is a
novacaine hit.  Lucid, on the other hand was much harder to install and
run; save the real pain for GNU Emacs 19.  Epoch comfortably fills the
niche between it and GNU Emacs 18.xx.
