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.

Why is Doom Emacs So Slow?
Simplest way on macOS to get native compilation is my emacs-builds project. Emacs 28.x and later, including nightly builds all have native compilation, and are available as Homebrew casks.

Emacs freebie: macOS emoji picker
Doesn't work for me on emacs-build, should it work out of the box?

I am curious how many of you are using native compilation.
For my own purposes I maintain a build script and binary builds project, allowing me to install the latest nightly as a Homebrew cask.

Inconsistent Space Width in Emacs-plus 28
There was even an issue reported on my own Emacs builds, but I could no longer re-produce it my variant of the issue at all, and the issue eventually went away for those who’d reported it.
