A highly recommendable Mac implementation of Emacs.
Even RMS would approve of it now ;-)

strange problem - Version: 1.6preview-4, 1/3/2009 02:47AM PST

I've reinstalled my MacBook (10.5.6): Aquamacs doesn't quit.
It normally runs, but I have to "force quit" for quitting the appl: very strange!

Developer Note: If you're on a PPC Mac and you downloaded 1.6preview4 on Monday Dec 29, you may encounter a problem with the Finder refusing to run Aquamacs ("not for this architecture"). We've fixed this - just download again. If you're not on PPC, there is no need to download it again.
Stop the new windows - Version: 1.3rc3, 2/11/2008 12:00AM PST

You can stop Aquamacs EMacs from opening a new window for each file by going under the "Options" menu and un-checking the "Display Buffers in Separate Frames" option. After you do that it seems to act like XEmacs. Oh, and one other thing. The auto-completion of filenames is done with the "Tab" key instead of the spacebar.

I was absolutely shocked not to find a flood of overwhelmingly positive reviews for Aquamacs. For anyone wanting to use emacs to write code on OS X, this is absolutely the emacs to use - it's a no-brainer. It _almost_ has the look-and-feel of a full-on Mac application - the only thing that differs is a little vestigial X-windows behavior (options (eg. fonts) are easier to set than with other emacs, but still don't fit in a standard "Preferences" window). There's a little bit of a learning curve, all because of "will this behave like emacs or like a Mac app?" issues, like whether preferences are stored in ~/.emacs or in ~/Library/Preferences. The last thing I want to have marring my beautiful OS X Aqua interface are applications that look like X-windows (or "hybrid"-looking applications). This thing is really pretty!
too many windows! - Version: 0.9.9c, 4/13/2006 03:34AM PST

Promising, but its insistence on opening every file in a new window is intolerable. Very soon the screen is completely covered with windows. Very unlike Emacs (or BBEdit), where you work in one window unless you ask for a new one.

Still prefer XEmacs, even with having to run the X11 environment (actually run it in Terminal most of the time). Zero effort install using fink, probably available using DarwinPorts, though I haven't checked.
Very nice effort though!

Best EMACS on OS X - Version: 0.9.9a, 3/29/2006 12:32PM PST

I have been using BBedit, TesxtMate, and so many others editors... But there is simply no equal to Emacs. And Aquamacs is definitely the best version of Emacs on OS X. Highly reccomended.
Works great on Macbook - Version: 0.9.9a, 3/28/2006 08:09PM PST

As always, a reliable and great version of emacs for the macintosh community. The new universal binry works great with increased speed on my macbook.
As a stable, reliable editor suitable for everyday use, I would recommend Aquamacs 1.9 which has just been released and will see maintenance in the near future.
