In fact, XEmacs (last time I looked) was the only one of the two that supported color syntax hilighting on a console, thus bettering GNU/Emacs in that department IMHO.
Emacs 21.1 (not yet released) will support colors in a tty. Not only that, it will approximate X11 color names so you don't have to have separate color setting for X and the console. (XEmacs doesn't do this.)

The interface is quite different. Vim (like vi) has editing mode and command mode. Emacs just has editing mode. Both are command-driven though unless you use gvim or XEmacs - in that case you get an X11 user interface.
XEmacs is not "Emacs with X11 support". Emacs and XEmacs are different editors, although they did fork from a common code base. Emacs runs fine in X, and XEmacs runs fine in a tty.
Many think Vi vs. Emacs is the only editor flamewar. There's also Emacs vs. XEmacs!;-)
