I just learned that new Macs don't come with Emacs preinstalled

• mg

  6 403 7.3 C

  Micro (GNU) Emacs-like text editor ❤️ public-domain

  EDIT: to partially answer my own question. I see that starting with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Gnu Emacs was replaced with mg. Catalina was released in October 2019. I don't know anything about Mg but it seems like a neat project.

  Build script for emacs and macos

  

  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).
