To elaborate on this: iTerm2 is much better than Terminal.app, and free. It seems to be the default thing that everybody recommends, and for good reason. http:

- aiscott 15y agoI recently downloaded iTerm2 because I had been hearing this. I can't for the life of me see why anyone thinks it is better than Terminal. It might just be my usage pattern, which is basically tmux. I was even briefly excited about the so called tmux integration of iTerm2, but it actually made a great tool worthless.
- Void_ 15y agoNow I'm interested. Why is it better? I use terminal only to navigate and run commands, no Vim or Emacs. How will iTerm make my life better?
- shaka881 15y agoIt doesn't randomly barf terminal control sequences into the top of your Emacs buffers, for one. ;) I've lost count of how many times I broke my build because of something like "]24;" being inserted into the head of my source files.
- dedward 15y agoaiscott: terminal.app got a decent boost in Lion.. prior to that it was pretty lacking for people used to your basic linux terminal even. iterm2 fixed that up around the sametime andgot traction, thats all. you are nt missing anything, go with what wjorks for yourself.
