Not really.  But I use it because I like some of the features,
such as gnuclient*.  I switched recently.

For an interesting discussion see the relevant sections of
http://www.jwz.org/doc/
which is also under "nerd documents" in
http://www.jwz.org/

Jamie Zawinski, who now manages a night club in San Francisco, is
also the inventor/maintainer of xscreensaver, one of the really

* Once you start the program, you don't need to open new windows
  for different documents.  Use gnuclient instead.  It is faster.
