Product Description:
Aquamacs is a Mac-like distribution of the powerful Emacs text editor. It looks and behaves like a Mac program - even though it's still GNU Emacs with all the extensibility that millions have come to appreciate.
Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex interface. Aquamacs tames the Emacs tiger: you get Apple shortcuts (in addition to the Emacs ones), nice fonts, one file per window (if wanted), international input methods, Apple Help manuals and more. Aquamacs comes with a range of modes for various markup and programming languages: HTML, C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, AppleScript, Tcl, XML, R (S)... These modes have extra functions for the languages, including excellent syntax highlighting. You can even use Aquamacs to read news and e-mail, just like any Emacs.

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

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!

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.
