I just learned that new Macs don't come with Emacs preinstalled
Though I don't love Ventura, running Emacs on MacOS has never really been a problem for me. It's also very easy to build Emacs. You can use this shell script if you like: https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos. I also list there a bunch of other build scripts from other users. Just as easy as homebrew really, with a lot more control (e.g. you can build whatever version of Emacs you like, at least back to 22).

GNU Emacs For Mac OS X warning message after macOS Monterey update
I build emacs myself from the master branch on an M1 and Monterey and don't see this issue. So it might be something either with your config or with that specific build setup.

What emacs to install on Macbook Air 2017, MacOS 11.6? I'm completely new to MacOS and emacs. Want to learn emacs+orgmode.
Here's the build script that I use. It is pretty dead simple. https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos

Shell script to build emacs on macos (works well with M1 mac on Monterey)
Hi all -- I've put a repo on github for building emacs on macos. There are several other such scripts available, but I've tried to make mine as simple to understand (I'm not a programmer) as possible (or as possible for me...). It currently works well for me but YMMV. Of course, I realize that there are a million ways to shave this yak, so I'd be curious if anyone has suggestions for improvement (though I'm also looking to keep things as simple as possible). I hope this might be of some use to people.

Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
I'm not a Mac user, but FWIW from what I've seen over time https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell is a must when using Emacs on a Mac. I don't know why this is, but I'm guessing there's something unusually difficult about setting up the desktop session environment when using OSX, and users end up needing to resort to this. Hopefully that helps if you run into environment issues.

Minor problems with vterm in emacs on MacOS
For one, do you use the exec-path-from-shell package? That should do the trick for path issues when using Emacs vterm. It's likely when emacs is loading it's not correctly loading in the $PATH values from your system. You can check the path values in emacs by checking the value of exec-path.

Help with projectile default action
I would like to use SPC p p RET to switch projects, change working directories to trigger exec-path-from-shell, and open Treemacs with the only active project being the selected one.

Issues building Emacs.app for Mac OS from source with native compilation
I suspect the Emacs.app package has some misconfigured paths that are unable to find my libgccjit library, which I've installed via homebrew. I've tried experimenting with exec-path-from-shell to ensure Emacs is aware of my shell paths, but to no avail.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing build-emacs-macos and exec-path-from-shell you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-builds - Self-contained Emacs.app builds for macOS, with native-compilation support.
build-emacs-for-macos - Somewhat hacky script to automate building of Emac.app on macOS.
homebrew-emacs-plus - Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager
neovim-ide - NeoVim as IDE
homebrew-emacsmacport - Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager
SLANOMACS - My (Illiterate) Literate Doom Emacs Config
emacs-jupyter - emacs plug-in to run python code inside tex or markdown buffer
gcmh - The Garbage Collector Magic Hack
jupyter - An interface to communicate with Jupyter kernels.
lambda-emacs - Emacs distribution with sane defaults, pre-configured packages, and useful functions.
