Worth double-checking, but I think that's one area Mituharu's is better than standard Emacs. I definitely recall some font rendering issues with some past version.
As for your other points, they aren't resolved. FWIW, I work around them:
> The server mode compatibility
I just have one long-running Emacs session. I have some colleagues who have experimented with using a launchd LaunchAgent to start emacs server in the background when they login. I haven't kept up with their results and I don't know if there are any side-effects.
> "Windows" (or Frames?) have generally not worked seamlessly for me
Since I have a long-running session, this isn't much of a problem for me. That said, when I do start up Emacs on first login, it indeed takes upwards of 5 seconds to startup, including a window re-themeing and resizing. It's not great, but like I said, it's only once at startup for me. Furthermore, because I came from a tiling window manager on Linux (AwesomeWM), I required similar behavior on macOS. I use SizeUp [1] with shortcuts configured to move my windows to side/corners of the screen. It's far from being as good as a true tiling window manager, but I've had to be satisfied with what I can get.

- smsx 8y agoIf you haven't seen it before, you might be interested in something like chunkwm[1], a tiling window manager for MacOS. I've been using it for a couple of years now and its been fantastic and works almost exactly like a linux-based tiling wm.

- AceJohnny2 8y agoThanks! I've eyed chunkwm, but was put off by its externalized keyboard-shortcut system. skhd scares me a bit, and I figure that since chunkwm is macOS only, it should be handling its shortcuts itself rather than abstract it out.
- smsx 8y agoTotally fair objection, but I believe the author made that decision primarily because skhd can do arbitrary keybindings. I have skhd set up to open up iTerm by pressing cmd-RET for example.
