If you're running Mac, I suggest the railwaycat fork, which is basically GNU emacs plus some quality of life features that RMS is against like applescript/os integration, smooth scrolling and nice fonts


Railwaycat on github: https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport

A list of differences: https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/src/f3402395995bf70...

> Official repository: https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/overview

> This is "Mac port" addition to GNU Emacs 26. This provides a native GUI support for Mac OS X 10.6 - macOS 10.15. Note that Emacs 23 and later already contain the official GUI support via the NS (Cocoa) port. So if it is good enough for you, then you don't need to try this.

> If you'd like to install with Homebrew, please

     $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport

  and then

     $ brew install emacs-mac

  if you using cask

     brew cask install emacs-mac or brew cask install emacs-mac-spacemacs-icon

 To disable this tap, please:

    $ brew untap railwaycat/emacsmacport


Thanks, I am mostly on Windows and IDEs nowadays, just wondering about the current state of affairs.
