Visually, the interface and GUI portion of M.E.S.S. is the worst ever.  The 
interface app is buggy (and in ways that the M.E.S.S. team definately know 
about, so I will not report obvious bugs).  But the emulator window itself, 
the actual surface that shows a CoCo's video screen on the PC screen, and 
the actual system emulation is superior to Jeff's emulator.

I think the ultimate CoCo 1/2/3 6809/6309 emulator would be one that has 
the lifelike graphics similar to David Keil's emulators and the 
so-far-so-good accurary of M.E.S.S.  Drag-and-drop everything.  Turn knobs, 
flip switches, using the mouse.  This project is on my burner and will get 
done.  Stay tuned.
