Ask HN: Which Emacs to use on OS X Lion?
I would like to try out Emacs but I'm unsure of which Emacs version to use. AquaMacs, Emacs 23, Emacs 24, etc.
What does HN recommend?
- gengstrand 15y agoI moved to AquaMacs when I upgraded to Lion because Emacs 23 developed a problem with file compare.
- stevilbot 15y agoi've been very happy with the emacs available in brew. /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD (3792 files, 113M) Installed with: --cocoa, --use-git-head resulted in a very happy GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1 this also includes the nice full-screen patch. (note, it's not the standard lion full screen app).
- cpr 15y agoGosh, I always use the Terminal-based Emacs because it's the same whether I'm on my machine or on a remote machine. (Including being OS-agnostic, so it's the same whether under Lion or on a remote Linux server.)
