(Aqua/E)macs deficiencies:
- working across files (projects)
- searching for strings in project
- opening other files in project
- viewing files, opened or not
- tabs
- cannot be reordered
- cannot be torn off or reparented
- vast over-use of control key
- poor file browsing
- is there no hierarchical disclosure view?!
- poor remote file manipulation
- no mouse UI elements (except menus and aquamacs "toolbar")
- buffers have no close (or reliable resize) widgets
- multi-file searching
- has a CLI grep wrapper, not hygenic, requires knowledge of grep arguments
- terrible block editing
- poor or no visual design
- often ugly syntax highlighting colors
- no multi-user capability
Just Emacs:
- word / line navigation requires control key
