I don't have experience, but here are some things to think about.
- On the plus side: it's popular, so it would probably serve a real user base
- On the minus side
- it's really a kind of fork of gnu emacs, so we'd have two copies of
that scary big codebase; if it could be installed as an add-on to regular
emacs, that would be more attractive.
- it seems like it's not really possible for regular gnu emacs users to
support it,
so it would be a real support burden for whomever packages it.
- I hear reports that the packaging system is somehow different than
upstream emacs. If so, that would suck.
