I started with GNU Emacs, switched to XEmacs, used it for a long time,
switched back to GNU a few years ago.

Filladapt.el is the only module that I had to go back for.  It does a
better job than GNU Emacs.

Even the emacswiki
  https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FillAdapt
agrees, and I quote:

  Emacs has a builtin AdaptiveFillMode, but filladapt tends to do a better
  job. The token table makes filladapt largely mode-agnostic, so common
  commenting styles work without a specific adaptive-fill-regexp
  setup. And even better compounded forms like email cited text within a
  lisp comment fills as you’d hope.
