There are some similarities between Aquamacs and Easymacs (apart from
the names), in that they both set up some of the same key-bindings.

There are also some differences: Aquamacs tries to make Emacs behave
like a Mac application, so for example each file, help screen, etc. is
opened in a separate window (or "frame" in Emacs parlance -- I found
this most annoying, but then I'm not a Mac user).  I think it doesn't
include any extra file-type specific packages, so I'm not surprised that
the developer was not keen on including Slime.

Easymacs on the other hand tries to present a uniform interface across
GNU/Linux, Windows, and OS X, and to be reasonably familiar to users on
all three platforms, without sticking too closely to the particular
conventions of any one.  It includes a number of other big extra Emacs
packages, and other documentation, so adding Slime and the CL spec is
consistent with its philosophy.
