I tried iTerm and then Hyper, and didn't really see how either benefited me over Terminal.app so I stuck with that. But these days I do most of my development work inside Emacs, and the vast majority of my Terminal.app usage has been replaced by either a first-class Emacs plugin (like Magit[0] for git) or Eshell[1] within Emacs.

- tlrobinson 10y agoThe main thing for me is split panes, but I don't primarily use an editor like Emacs that can do split panes, and I never bothered to learn tmux (iTerm does have neat tmux integration though)
- sdegutis 10y agoAh right, split panes are pretty nifty. Very easy to do in Emacs and convenient too. When I'm using Terminal.app, I just use two windows and place them side-by-side if needed. But most of the time a single windows suffice for the small things I'm doing.
- cygned 10y agoI am from the cult of vim, using neovim and tmux all day. What I like about iTerm are the many small options that allow me to tweak it a bit here and there.
