It depends on if your a Mac person using Emacs, or an Emacs person using Mac.

What I mean by that is that Aquamacs does things in a Mac way (e.g., storing preferences in Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/ instead of .emacs, and creating key bindings similar to other Mac apps).

I started using Emacs on Linux, and when I got a Mac, I first started with Aquamacs, but eventually switched just for consistency.

Just remembered something. Another thing that I didn't like (although it's customizable) is that instead of opening a new buffer in a window, Aquamacs' default was to open it in a new frame.
