I'm a longtime Emacs user, but always on Linux. Now I'm using MacOS at work for the first time (ok, since leaving Apple in '97 :-) and am trying to use Emacs there to take advantage of all the time I've invested learning it. Problem is: it sucks! It crashes at least three time per day, and that in an environment where pretty much nothing else crashes. If I weren't so invested I'd have given up after the first couple of days.
AFAICT, the version I'm using is official gnu. It identifies itself as "Version 24.5 (9.0)" and has a url pointing to www.gnu.org. I'm using it in the windowing environment, not a terminal -- which is a requirement. I've heard people on this list describe themselves as happy with MacOS as a compromise between the power/stability of a Unix-based system and the familiarity (to others at least) of a consumer OS. Surely some of you are using emacs. If so, where'd you get it, and what version?
