Ehm, I have been using Terminal.app on OS X for years now, and probably use it > 50% of my time daily (yay for REPLs), and I never really encountered any problem. The last thing I remember was that in OS X 10.5 I had to change some locale option to have UTF-8 working properly. But that's it. Could you give examples where Terminal.app fails?

  Yes. Ignoring the home/end/page up/page down antics, this command screwed up the whole terminal for me. grep "$search_string" -n -C 3 --color # color bugs out

Look at using iTerm2-beta.

  iTerm2 is clearly a great terminal. I find it buggy when using zsh however.
