We document the XEmacs-specific support in AUCTeX (basically, how to use
AUCTeX's scripts to create an XEmacs package and that XEmacs-distributed
packages are usually activated automatically when installed via the
package system).  I don't think that AUCTeX documentation is the place
to suggest switching to Emacs.  Nor should we specifically recommend the
use of unmaintained packages like X-Symbol.
