emacs.

Using the binary from http://www.mindlube.com/products/emacs/ on Panther. The scroll bar is funky weird/pretty close to non-functional. But I use the keyboard for navigation anyway.

Oh and I personally dislike XCode. I just did some work on a Cocoa app, so it made sense to use XCode. But the evil editor couldn't keep up with my typing. And my typing speed isn't particularly fast. Bah.

    If you have the developer tools installed, CVS-tip builds directly on OSX and produces a carbon binary with no problems. 
    setenv CVSROOT :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs
cvs checkout emacs
cd emacs
# I put my installation in /opt/emacs, and the X build seems to mess u
+p:
./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs --without-x
make bootstrap install
# one time only:
ln -s `pwd`/mac/Emacs.app ~/Desktop/
