I use Carbon Emacs 22 on Mac OSX but I'm not familiar with Cocoa.  Can
you explain what this means for Emacs 23?

I tried using the Aqua variant but couldn't get the hang of it -- too
much of standard Emacs key bindings and interface have migrated into
the firmware of my brain.  Does the Cocoa variant use the standard
lean Emacs interface?  Or does this mean I'll be on 22 for the rest of
my Mac days (unless I run an X11 server)?
