What version of emacs is best to run under osx? Is Aqua Emacs any good? Standard emacs under X11? In a term? Something I don't know about?

Aquamacs is ok but it's very slow compared to the standard Emacs distro:http://emacsformacosx.com/
That shit is fast and tight. Let me know if you need any help setting it up or configuring anything.
Sweet, thanks! I'm a long time vim user but I figure I should at least get familiar with emacs and give it a chance. Plus it's helpful knowing the key bindings since so many other things use them.
Damn, I'm on an old powerpc with 10.4. The universal binary for 23.1 doesn't want to run for me. Am I missing out on big things having to run 22.1?
There are a few things like the font support being much better but all in all it should run fine.
cool thanks, no biggie for me then.

That sounds like an alternate euphemism for felching.
I just euphemismed in my pants.

I can't take this white background anymore! heh, seriously, it's burning my eyes. How do you change the color scheme?
In emacs 23 it's super easy:
(set-background-color "#FFFFEF")
It's more of a pain in the arse in other versions but of you do an M-x customize you'll get a list of customization options, among which will be background color.

Ah lovely, thanks. I did finally get 23 installed. I'm not super picky about color schemes, the default one is pretty decent, just not a fan of white backgrounds.
Now I just have to get my pinky into shape.

Quick question, sometimes (when in html mode it seems) it won't let me indent beyond a certain point or sometimes at all? I'm guessing it is trying to keep the indentation correct but it's not always right. I've tried using TAB and C-i. Anyway I can override that?
