$10? It might be a fun trick to show off to friends, but I am sure as hell not doing any serious work in that. iTerm2 'till I die!

A fun trick? Are you kidding me? I've never spend money that fast before (I had bought it before it got in the App Store). Cathode is awesome, especially if, like me, you have ever worked in such an environment (VT100 etc). I even dropped iTerm 2 and use Cathode all day long. Something about the blast-from-the-past feel makes me more productive and feel like an ol' hacker. Only wish it had tabs.

  no tabs !! REALLY !? You care to explain how awesome it is?

    I never understood why people want their terminal emulators to have tabs. Screen/tmux do it so much better...

      This. Clicking? No. Alt+Shift+Number? No. Good old-fashioned Ctrl-a ".

      What are the main advantages of screen/tmux in comparison with simple terminal tabs?
      - burgerbrain 15y ago
        For starters, detaching.

        Mainly the detach/attach facility. I can open it from ssh, without even closing the session in the terminal. They also provide split window facilities, tmux even more so.

        My tabs and state are on the REMOTE end of my connection. I never lose it. Copy and paste is easy, no rat.

  Old VTs are cheap on eBay and are fun to play with. http://www.flickr.com/photos/symmetricalism/6854396657/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/symmetricalism/6854396657/light...

    Is that a HHKB? If so how are you liking it?

  All day? I don't think I could take the ergonomic hit. I am pretty sensitive about readable color schemes in Emacs, reducing glare, etc. etc.. Whatever floats your boat, I guess...

    Cathode has ANSI/xterm color support, so you can keep using your color schemes. Also, you can tweak the vintage-ness level.
