Ask HN: Which Emacs to use on OS X Lion?
I would like to try out Emacs but I'm unsure of which Emacs version to use. AquaMacs, Emacs 23, Emacs 24, etc.
What does HN recommend?

Gosh, I always use the Terminal-based Emacs because it's the same whether I'm on my machine or on a remote machine. (Including being OS-agnostic, so it's the same whether under Lion or on a remote Linux server.)
I moved to AquaMacs when I upgraded to Lion because Emacs 23 developed a problem with file compare.
i've been very happy with the emacs available in brew.
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD (3792 files, 113M) Installed with: --cocoa, --use-git-head
resulted in a very happy GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1
this also includes the nice full-screen patch. (note, it's not the standard lion full screen app).
