That, and the ability to manipulate epoch screens with keys (rotate screens,
iconify screens, raise screens and so on) makes epoch a winner for me.
Lucid has some of this, but no all.
In defence of Emacs 19: at least you can disable the scrollbar and the menubar
if you don't want it. How do you disable the menu in Lucid? On my machine
Lucid is the slowest starter, and the slowest to create a new screen.
Epoch and emacs 19 is about the same.

Ditto.
