The difference is that even if it is a single rootwindow within NextStep, you can resize this to the size of the X-window you are interested in. i.e. you can simlate a merged envrionment. Of higher importance is however that you might want to be able to monitor several windows at once, some of them X windows, some of them NextStep. Also, I hope that coXist supports cut&paste between the two environments.
