Just for the record, I have to disagree. As a long-time emacs user
(about 18 years), I am pretty happy with Aquamacs. To be honest, for
anyone who has any significant personal customizations, the
differences between different emacs "distros" on the Mac are pretty
slight. There is also I believe an "Enhanced Carbon Emacs" add-on for
Aquamacs that contains the extra packages that you mention. One detail
that I like with Aquamacs, which I don't think is present in other
emacs versions, is that you can drag the file icon from the Aquamacs
menubar onto other applications. Useful for attaching files to mail
messages for instance. Shame you can't drag from a dired buffer
though...
If you want to live on the cutting edge, there is also a Cocoa-based
emacs (emacs-app.sourceforge.net), which now seems to be in the main
emacs development trunk. Supposedly, Aquamacs plans to transition to
being based on this in the medium term. Last time I tried it, it was
pretty flaky though.
Cheers
Will
