Anything having to do with selective-display is lost in WinEmacs.
This means I can't use outline-mode or any of the folding-mode
packages. To me, this is the biggest loss.
I also miss horizontal scrolling.
The rest is fine, and I haven't had problems with stability on NT 4.0.
WinEmacs printing support is far better than in GNU Emacs.

If such a port exists, I'd certainly be interested in learning about it
too ...
That said, I'm currently using Win-Emacs with Allegro under NT 4.0,
and stability (of WIn-Emacs) is not a big problem. Intuitively,
I'd agree on the outdated part, since GNU Emacs is more standard
and seems to be more up-to-date, but what does this really boil down to?
That is what can you do in GNU EMacs that you can't do in Win-Emacs?
If there are convincing points, it might be easier to talk people into
helping with a port of ACLW Editi from Win-Emacs to GNU Emacs.
Bye,
Ole J.
