This was merged into GNU Emacs proper, and is part of Emacs 24.4. GNU Emacs proper scrolls line-wise, which is very laggy and jumpy with trackpads.

Emacs Mac Port uses pixel-based scrolling like other native OS X applications, which feels much smoother and is much more precise. It only affects trackpad scrolling, though, so if you don’t use the mouse, you won’t need it. You can pinch to increase/decrease the text size. Again, if you don’t use the mouse, you won’t notice it, and it’s arguably just a fancy feature.

You can send and receive Apple Events from Emacs Lisp. Three-finger tapping will search the word under cursor in Apple’s Dictionary application, like in other OS X applications. You can open a selected file in Finder from the context menu in the running Emacs.

Native SVG display using Webkit, rather than librsvg.

Webkit has better SVG support to my knowledge, but who views SVGs in Emacs? You’ll notice that most of these features are merely concerned with integration into OS X, and are not essential to using Emacs. Other than that, Emacs Mac Port is pretty much like a standard GNU Emacs.

Some of its features make their way back into GNU Emacs, but other will never be merged, since they are exclusive to OS X, and not available in the free alternative GNUStep, which goes against the politics of the FSF to not support proprietary operating systems over their free alternatives.

Also, if I remember correctly, the author of this patchset has shown little interest to bring the features back upstream, probably for the former reason. AquamacsĪquamacs is a heavily patched fork of GNU Emacs. Unlike all of the above, it’s not based on GNU Emacs, but has an independent source tree. It’s regularly synched with Emacs upstream, though, and closely follows Emacs releases. It inevitably lags behind GNU Emacs trunk, however.
