Given that X11.app now runs automatically through launchd, what are the
advantages of the carbon version over the X version?
Eye candy. (Don’t discount it as a factor to attract new users; I’m
impressed by how many Aquamacs users there are, and would really like to
leech that code. Not that we’ll get that many of them.)
Beyond that, the Carbon support for displaying non-ASCII characters is
really good, much better than any other platform we support. And
cut-and-paste with other OS X apps works consistently, whereas it is
unreliably inconsistent with the X11 build.
Also, it should be possible to implement drag and drop interoperability with
native OS X apps, something important for Mac users. Though it’s not yet
available.
