Just configured aquamacs and it’s awesome! Simple and quick. Will put up my .emacs and other details soon on github here.
Stuff I am using are:
- ECB — emacs code browser
- emacs-for-python which includes all the goodies you need for python development!
- Solarized dark theme, whose emacs port is here.
My fav feature? It’s M-x artist-mode , see a screencast here
(HOW-TO: Use mouse middle button to get options, COMMAND+click on a mac. Exit using M-x artist-mode-off)

If you are using Aquamacs, I recommend you not to use ~/.emacs but directly edit the file which it loads, its located here: ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el
The ultimate emacs course — An awesome 2hr video lecture for emacs!
