There are 2 ways it is different:
1) It is a self contained .app file and generally goes in your /Applications folder which means you have to go out of your way to get it to launch from the terminal by simply typing "emacs". I put this little sh script in my path somewhere:
#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@"
2) Since it isn't a text only Emacs, launching it from the command line still creates a bouncy Emacs icon on your dock and gives it its own window and menu bar. "emacs -nw", as usual, takes you straight to text mode without leaving the terminal.
