Aquamacs Emacs 2.4

Aquamacs is a Mac-like distribution of the powerful Emacs text editor. By "mac-like", we mean more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application.

Aquamacs features extensive customization that enables it to conform better with Apple's standard Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) than standard versions of the editor do.

Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex interface that, while consistent across platforms, is usually at odds with the specific interface conventions of the particular platform on which it is being used.

The same applies to the OS X version of GNU Emacs, called Carbon Emacs.

Aquamacs is different: it will provide you a more Mac-like user experience and the comfort you've come to expect from other excellent Mac apps. Aquamacs comes completely configured and ready to go.

It builds on GNU Emacs 22, however, so you'll be able to use all your favorite extensions (and even the good-old Emacs key bindings, if you like!).
