I understand, and I usually recommend Carbon Emacs Package to users  
like you.  Its focus is on cross-platform coherence.

Aquamacs' focus is on integrating with other applications and the  
habits that have formed from using OS X applications.

The service we provide is to make it zero-configuration for those who  
want integration with the desktop.

However, it you prefer not to see any changes, don't upgrade.

If you do upgrade, I will endeavor to make it easy for someone who  
knows the basics of Emacs Lisp to undo any new defaults.  We try to  
announce them in the change log.
