As to using emacs on OS X, I've had a lot of success with Aquamacs Emacs (www.aquamacs.org). I was exposed to emacs in a second semester computer science class, and despite the learning curve really liked it. I installed Aquamacs on my own computer and, despite having very little experience with emacs was up and running with it very quickly. It's real emacs, with all the customizability and other benefits that entails, and it's documented well enough to allow an interested newbie (like myself) to get their hands dirty.


Also, Aquamacs functions as a LaTeX environment, even though this isn't a feature I've used yet.
