I do but haven’t noticed the slow downs. I am likely a slow coder.

Same here. I just spent a day rewriting all my customizations. So far it’s fine. Every 3-5 years I revisit the config :)

I don’t know how to get to the line being edited in emacs, but the skim integration works also with skim +emacs-mac.

I will apologize to your coauthors. If there is a student among them, then I’ll delete these posts :D
My advisor and I learnt most of git while working on a paper. It never made it on time. At least we didn’t have to complain about rev B for the rejection.

Not that you would be swayed by silly screenshots, but emacs-mac (or even plain old emacs) is quite nice these days.

That could work too. The following are the incantations that work on my Mac.
brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
brew install emacs-mac --with-modern-icon --with-native-comp --with-mac-metal --with-imagemagick --with-xwidgets --with-starter --with-librsvg --with-natural-title-bar

I loved the auctex and dictionary integration. Anyway, at some point, quite sure for some silly reason I switched and have never looked back.
I think the ⌘+ combinations work on plain emacs (guess I am using some package or it works out of the box). The clipboard integration also seems to work.

I assume you use emacs for coding, writing, and emails!? If time permits, could you explain what clunky means in these use cases. I am just curious.

Is there a reason you can’t move away from aquamacs?

I loved aquamacs but moved on to using emacs-Mac or plain emacs many years ago. It’s sometimes painful to upgrade versions every two years or so, but otherwise no issues.

I use git and emacs with magit. It’s quite nice in helping you pick what you want to commit (from one file, several files, …)

Do you have a pointer or two on the fundamental aspects of the language that make it impractical, if not impossible, to speed it up?
