Emacs for Mac OS X boasts a user-friendly interface that emulates the Mac style. It is easy to navigate and provides a comfortable experience for users, allowing them to work efficiently.
Aquamacs is a powerful text editor that has been designed to work specifically on Mac platforms. Unlike standard versions of the editor, Aquamacs adheres to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), allowing you to enjoy a more Mac-like user experience.
One of the biggest advantages of Aquamacs is its extensive customization options. This makes it easier to configure to conform with Apple's HIG. The editor is built on GNU Emacs 22, so all your favorite extensions can be used here as well. If you prefer the classic Emacs key bindings, they are also available.
Emacs is known for its legendary power and configurability. However, it has an interface that is often at odds with platform-specific interface conventions. This applies to the OS X version of GNU Emacs, too, which is called Carbon Emacs. Aquamacs, on the other hand, provides you with the comfort and ease of use you’ve come to expect from other excellent Mac applications.
To get started with Aquamacs, all you need to do is install it. The editor comes completely configured and ready to go. You won't have to spend time tweaking the settings to get started. With Aquamacs, you can dive straight into editing and focus on your work.
