ok. so right now, the app just starts 'emacs'. so no mattet what, it makes a new instance and always evals the init file, disregarding any existing daemon or already running instance.
what im suggesting, is that it starts 'emacsclient', possibly with '-a ""', so if there is an already running daemon, it connects to that instance, so the initialization doesnt need to happen again.
does it make sense?

Hello. The way Emacs.app works right now, it that it always starts a new session of emacs, so its always slow to open if you have more than an empty init file, and it doesn’t work with the daemon.

I would suggest to change the behaviour of that, and make it so that Emacs.app will start emacsclient, so if a daemon is running, it would connect to it. We could even make it so that it starts a new daemon like `-a “”` would.

I think that would benefit anyone using Emacs.app by doing what those same people would do now, which is to run a command from their shell, that does the above. Why not implement it in the .app, so that when dragging some files onto Emacs.app, it starts quickly because of the daemon?
