In case anyone is interested, David Reitter and I are working on a
distribution of Carbon Emacs that includes a lot of Aqua-specific
customizations (keyboard shortcuts, use of native file dialogs, etc.) to
make Emacs more HIG-compliant.

This looked promising, so I tested it - for about five minutes. This beast is less ergonomic than standard Emacs and less ergonomic than any standard Mac text editor - who wants that? Unless of course I have overlooked something essential...
1) No more than one buffer per window. I tend to have about twenty buffers in an Emacs session. Twenty windows? Not on my iBook! And.. having two files on top of each other in one window is often very useful. It's one of the reasons why I still use Emacs.
2) File completion with the pop-up dialog is a lot worse than no file completion at all. The idea of Emacs-style (and readline-style) file completion is that one can always type one more letter to reduce the number of choices. No more with that silly dialog box.
3) Python-mode seems to work only partially. In particular, py-shell doesn't work. No more Python debugging in Emacs...
Oh well... it's in the trashcan, life goes on as usual :-)
Konrad.
