xemacs is fine -- I use it all the time. For Aqua purposes, I go with BBEdit.

Except they broke the carbon emacs by adding the "multi-tty" branch for the
next release, and aren't fixing it due to lack of talent. Apparently the
carbon port isn't important to them any more. :( So now we're stuck with
command-line (somewhat broken) and X11 (unsure, haven't tried that, since I
don't fire up X11 very often), or the 22.1 release only (the last working
carbon version).


If you're a mac developer, and appreciate emacs, please head over to the emacs
devel list and offer your services. The previous guy abandoned it.
