Though I don't use OSX (yet), I thought I'd offer the following
observations regarding Emacs on OSX. The Carbon version of Emacs uses a
very new bleeding-edge Emacs source (21.3.50) which has given IDLWAVE
users problems when running the shell (it's unclear if it's the
newer-than-new Emacs version or the Carbon-based flavor which is the
culprit). The X11 versions of both Emacs and XEmacs are working without
problem. Since you need X11 to run IDL anyway, using an X-based Emacs
shouldn't be a problem.
