If you're a light user, probably not much.
I spend probably 2/3rds of my day at a command line, and iTerm has a ton of handy usability features that make life a little nicer. With kitchen-sink apps like this, everyone uses them differently, but things that make my life easier include:
- command-up arrow to scroll up by command
- programmable appearance changing (using the server-side shell integration) to visually prompt me when I'm not my usual UID and to show machine names in the background of the window
- Deeply customizable minor usability details, like the ability to copy-on-select, which I use all the time but some people hate
Nothing that is going to empower you do do things you can't now; rather just nice features that make address the quirky needs of heavy shell users.
