I recently switched to Spacemacs and I'm really enjoying it. If you're a Vim user who wants to try Emacs, or an Emacs user who wants to work faster I recommend trying it.

Pardon my ignorance but just running `git clone --recursive http://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d` would install it? Wouldn't I need a working Emacs installation first? If yes, which one should I install for a Mac?

You do need Emacs installed - First get it from http://emacsformacosx.com

You can also do "brew install emacs". I think that is the preferred option for Spacemacs.

This thing is really great. Been playing around with it for a few days and threw away my old .emacs. It's that good.

One pro is that it will make plenty of excellent emacs packages easily discoverable.
