I've been using Emacs for 20 years, and fully converted my desktops to Mac last year.
I like Aquamacs OK with option->meta and caps lock -> control like you have. With that setup, it's a bit of a twist to get my pinky finger onto meta, but it's tolerable on my Microsoft Natural keyboard.
The biggest nuisance is that I can't figure out how to bind function keys. I liked having F2 = goto-line (rather M-g g) and F3 = compile.
After 20 years of Emacs, I've actually started to like Cmd-c and Cmd-v rather than C-k and C-y.
Also, the scroll wheel on the Mighty Mouse works pretty well in Aquamacs. Though you do have to clean the scroll wheel (by rolling it around on your pants) every few days.
Aquamacs has a solid fullscreen environment, and you gotta love the mac's text rendering.
First thing I did was swap to option = alt, command = meta.
Next was load up CEDET, and enable all the excessive display helpers. I'll eventually pear them down, but for now it's nice. Specifically, the header bar shows the current function/method body I'm in, and there's an overline over every signature.
Really nice to parse through large source files, especially when they're full of long definitions. Hey, no judging.
