does is makes you not have a META key.  How can you use Emacs without a
meta key?  I cannot really see having to use ESC instead of Meta in this
day and age.

You might set ns-command-modifier to Meta. The default is Super and maps
to standard Mac copy/paste/etc. keys. I do know that many people like
that better than option (the command key (⌘) is also physically closer
to where Alt is on non-mac keyboards, which I think is why it's popular
to use for Meta).

You can also set left and right modifiers to something different. Maybe
that is something that will work in your case.

To see the whole list, `M-x customize-group RET ns RET`.
