If I'm running an X11 server anyway, I'll usually run the X11 emacs. If I'm not, I'll run the carbon emacs for sure. I definitely can't see running an X11 server just to get a windowed emacs; that really doesn't make any sense to me at all. When I first switched from linux to osx I used X11 all the time, mainly because I tried to replicate my linux environment. At some point I realized that this was a bad strategy for getting the most out of osx. Now that I'm fully transitioned I find that I only need X11 very occasionally, and this despite the fact that my job is all about distributed-systems software. As a result, I rarely use X11 emacs anymore. In any case, having the choice is very nice. > - and haven't found any functional differences- except that the scroll > wheel works under the Aqua environment but not under X11. Scroll-wheel works ok for me in X11 emacs 21.3.50.1.
