It's been a while since I used it, but off the top of my head: - colors never worked right, you can certainly enable them but themes like solarized are impossible to get working. - it took forever to open. as in, a terminal on my machine is just a keypress away and it took the terminal on my osx machine a couple seconds to open a window, and even longer to show me a prompt - somehow they borked mouse input, so clicking the line you want to edit from within a vim session, for example, is a no-go. - this is a lion problem but terminal interacts with it especially badly, there's no easy way to open a second terminal window. I usually have tons of the things open and it's impossible to manage them properly.

Hmm I faced some of the same problems: - Colors work perfect with the tomorrow theme, kinda similar to solarized (https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/tree/master/OS%20X%20Terminal https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/tree/master/O...) - I think I changed my shell to /bin/bash in the preferences, which fixed it - Haven't encountered this - Haven't encountered this

  It's my understanding that bash has been the default shell in OSX for quite some time now, though I can't imagine tcsh started noticeably slower than it back when it was the default. On my incredibly underpowered machine the difference between the two is around 0.05s.

Problem #2 can be addressed with this. touch ~/.hushlogin

  Yeah - I've tried that in the past: mbf041:~ shephard$ ls -lart ~/.hushlogin -rw-r--r-- 1 shephard staff 0 Apr 23 21:36 /Users/shephard/.hushlogin mbf041:~ shephard$ But it still didn't help. I ended up having to sudo rm -rf /private/var/log/asl/*.asl to fix it on my system.

Re: Delay on terminal - Yes, well known (and annoying) problem in OS X. It isn't actually a terminal issue but a log processing PITA. See: http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/06/speed-up-a-slow-terminal-by-clearing-log-files/ http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/06/speed-up-a-slow-terminal-by-c... But, basically, sudo rm -rf /private/var/log/asl/*.asl fixes it. I live in Terminal.app - usually have 15-20 tabs open all day long - so little tweaks like that (saving 2 seconds each time you open a new window) makes a big difference.
