I've been using Aquamacs, although I don't like the fact that it has *so
many* modes built-in and turned-on by default, and I also don't like the
fact that it doesn't lend itself well to customization (it has its own set
of initialization files it keeps hidden off). It's decent, though (but
again, I've devolved over the years to using almost vanilla emacs bindings
to allow moving to new platforms easier).
I've also been known to use the built-in GNU emacs from a terminal shell
(especially when working remotely/SSH-ing). I see no reason why you can't
have the same experience that you do with your Linux box, although you'd
have to find a way to drag the google3 elisp over.
