What does iterm2 have to offer over the built in terminal? Also, more line-breaks would be nice...

  For starters, iTerm 2 has great profile/color management, split panes (horizontal or vertical) within the same window, and not-so-broken ANSI coloring.

    Terminal has profile/colour management, and screen does any pane splitting for me, and what's wrong with and ANSI colouring?
    - achompas 14y ago
      I found colors in Terminal to be lacking, and heard great things about iTerm 2. Sounds like you have your setup exactly as you want it, though.

I think Alfred seems to have replaced Quicksilver as the app launcher du jour.
