20.4 has been rock solid for me, definitely more so than 19.16, and it's
faster, too.

If you run it via gnuclient (or the editclient.sh script), it is workable
even on a IIci. I am forced to use NTEmacs (based on GNU Emacs) at work,
and I can't wait for XEmacs 21. I'd never go back.

But that's how it is with editors. Anyone using vi, pico, ed, WORDSTAR 3,
EDLIN out there?
