I've seen this article, but thanks for pointing anyway.

What I'd like is a good integration with the Mac/OSX trackpad, I've
tried, but couldn't.

I haven't checked if AquaMacs has any improvements on this side,
anyone out there that could share something? I also noticed that
there's a tendency of people prefering to use cocoa over aquamacs in
the emacs osx community, not sure why.

Anyway, this is starting to be too OT, so, I might as well just post
it on the emacs-users mailing list. I just wanted to know if there are
other OSX (or non-osx) users that share my feelings.

Thanks,

Marcelo.
