Works like a charm, but customisation is not straight forward. In order to use the alt-key as the meta-key and to be able to use the apple-key for normal editting commands, you have to really search deeply (I've put the correct commands below; you'll have to put them in ~/.emacs).
For the rest this is the greatest emacs for the mac. All packages are included (well, most anyway), multiple buffers, multiple windows, menus, everything works like it should. It's fast enough on my iBook (start-up is a bit slow, but we emacs users open our editor only once or twice per day anyway). Fantastic app for all emacs lovers.

More compatible with emacs packages than aquaemacs
