Indeed it does appeal.

One of the things I've found I miss the most from XEmacs deals with
VC.  When you modify a version controlled file in XEmacs, the
background of the CVS version becomes highlighted.  In Emacs, it goes
from CVS-1.21 => CVS:1.21 which isn't obvious until you read the
docstring for vc-default-mode-line-string. 

I was disappointed that I couldn't customize to get that behavior
back.
