I wasn't even thinking about local term vs. remote until you mentioned it, but you're right. I guess it's because I don't use a Mac very often and when I do I don't usually have a reason to use the local terminal. I find that's true on Windows as well, I don't often need to use the command line. OTOH, I'm SSHed into remote Linux servers 40+ hours a week.
