Aquamacs is adapted to the Mac's "Aqua" user interface. That means more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application. Earlier versions of Emacs also had an enormously complex user interface. That is different in Aquamacs, which behaves the way Mac users expect. Aquamacs looks good and integrates well with other applications on the Mac. Normal OS X keyboard commands are offered along with the extended Emacs ones. No complicated installation is needed. Yet it's still a real Emacs with all the ergonomy and extensibility that this world-class editor is famous for.Aquamacs Emacs 1.7 now includes smart space handling to keep words and phrases separated during copy&paste in texts. It also comes with a number of updated major modes and bug fixes. The update is recommended for all users of previous Aquamacs Emacs versions. Other features recently added include better support for tabs, for mode-specific fonts and colors, zooming, and opening Aquamacs from the terminal.
Founded by the father of Free Software, Richard M. Stallman, Emacs has a long history that began some thirty years ago. He is helped by a group of volunteers. Aquamacs includes the latest GNU Emacs and is maintained by David Reitter and his team of enthusiastic users, Mac lovers and Emacs experts. Aquamacs is Free Software and open-source. It is fast and reliable on new and old Macs with OS X 10.4 or later. Downloads and more information are available at http://aquamacs.org.
