It does look like it is an attempt at "emacs for mac users" which is very different than "mac-emacs for emacs users". Your review makes it very clear why I wouldn't want to use it either, but I'm a little odd :-) I'd been using fink emacs because it had X11 support and thus "better" meta key handling and color than the native tty-only one... and recently switched to Carbon Emacs: http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html because it got me nice anti-aliased fonts and more screen real estate (turning off tool-bar mode turns off the *mac* toolbar too, which might scare people, but I love it), as well as a very useful "do-applescript" function. (Note that I'm using the February version, there's a new April version out that I haven't tried yet.) Python mode works (well, the Tim Peters one I grabbed off the net a while back, it doesn't look like this emacs includes one, oddly.) What I *really* want to try next is to see if I can build it with PyMacs support (embed a python interpreter deeply into emacs, a hack that François Pinard came up with a couple of years back) but I haven't had the time... _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
