The idea behind these commands is to easily launch a Emacs server which runs in the background, but with font/theme/etc settings as if it was launched like a normal GUI. I used to just launch Emacs.app directly, but, now I use these binaries to open a full GUI frame by executing `emacs-gui-client -c &`. After starting the GUI server with `emacs-gui-server start` of course. The main difference between calling `emacs --daemon` and `emacs-gui-server start` is that the latter uses a custom socket as to not interfere with any console-base Emacs server, and it also sets the `EMACS_GUI_SERVER` environment variable to `1`, letting my Emacs config figure out which theme/fonts/etc to load.
