Keep in mind all the confusion between window managers and desktop
envirnments these days and see if you can follow this logic:

xemacs == kitchen sink
xemacs == programming editor
xemacs == mail/news client
xemacs == directory/ftp browser
xemacs == calendar/diary/todo manager
xemacs == address book
xemacs == desktop environment
desktop environment ~~ window manager   <== popular misconception here
afterstep == window manager
afterstep == mail biff
afterstep == terminal program
afterstep == scripting tool
afterstep != programming editor?
