Emacs-MacPort is an old port using the Carbon API, which has long been deprecated by Apple.

But to be fair, Emacs-NSPort (the official, Cocoa Emacs) is sorely lacking in maintenance power, and has a lot of problems, including tearing, glitches, crashes... It does not even have an official maintainer! [1]

OTOH, The MacPort has a maintainer, has more Mac-specific features, and is more stable. That being said, I still use the official port (due to various reasons).

[1] Try to look for src/nsterm.m in admin/MAINTAINERS.
