I think Eric wanted to have Option/Alt be Meta which clashes with many
national key bindings on Mac (I know the problem from German).

I don't like Command be Meta because it takes over many of the most
common Mac shortcuts like Cmd-Q, Cmd-W, Cmd-C, Cmd-V. A step like this
would confuse beginners to Emacs even more.

No, its the Enter key, which is mostly like the Return key but not
exactly (on a Mac). You can remap the right Enter key to be Alt with the
DoubleCommand utility. I had to do this for ages until Apple fixed it on
the Core2 MacBooks (and broke the F-Keys in the process :-(
