Gotta agree.... Xemacs was valid when GNU emacs didn't do X well, but 
now GNU Emacs is definitely the "real deal" in the emacs world.

GNU Emacs 22 (it's been 21.3.50 for a long time, but we bumped it this 
week for reasons that are too complex to go into) supports Gtk2 for it's 
menu's and toolbars and as such is about as eye-candy as you're going to 
get - it's available as emacs-cvs from Gentoo's portage repository - 
that said as you're just begining I'd stick with GNU Emacs 21 (just 
emacs in portage IIRC ) and you'll be happy, stable and functional.
