So, for example, if you use preview-latex in auctex, or the equivalent functionality in org-mode, you'll notice that the small image previews are very fuzzy, and not at all what you'd expect from your retina screen. The reason ultimately is that the Mitsuharu emacs-map fork has implemented certain things which make PNGs scale correctly for Retina screens, and makes use of Apple's native webkit-based SVG renderer rather than the Stallman-acceptable librsvg. But of course Stallman refused to accept the hard work done by Mitsuharu, which makes Emacs better for a subset of Emacs users and therefore is an _improvement_ to Emacs, with the childish logic that they don't want to allow things that makes emacs better on "non-free" systems than on "free" systems.

Thanks! pdf-tools gives me very crip images without the flag mentioned in the gibhub issue (perhaps that's default by now?). My personal org setup uses pdf-tools, so maybe that's why I didn't notice that one either. I hadn't used the the Mac, and Emacs on a Mac as a primary driver for work from home until about 3 months ago, but after the first couple of weeks of dealing with annoying minute changes during my adaptation from Linux, I now work more-or-less fine on it (with external keyboard, mouse, and monitor most of the time, and most of the time in iterm2 on a remote Emacs server; the remaining time, from the local Emacs, for visualization, reading PDF papers or documentation, and composing local documents.)
