The latest packaged version of OpenMCL:
OpenMCL Version (Beta: Darwin) 0.14.2-p1

> Which Emacs versions?
A CVS snapshot from a couple of months ago:
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0) of 2004-01-25 on 
dandytiger.local

> How well does SLIME work for you?
I have only begun to scratch the surface of it yet, but it works very 
well for me.  I can see that some of the functionality isn't available 
in the OpenMCL backend, which might be a problem when/if I get to write 
anything bigger; especially the WHO-* functions.

> What bugs (reproducible or otherwise) or missing features annoy you?
As above, nothing at the moment, but I can see that the missing 
functions in the OpenMCL backend might be useful in bigger projects.

I'm using Darwin Ports as my package manager but CVS is working fine 
for me, really.

Lisp is by far the most efficient and fun programming language I have 
used and SLIME somehow makes it even more fun.  It gives some of the 
explorability found in Smalltalk environments to command line Lisp 
implementations.
