- veemjeem 14y agoI've found iTerm2 to be extremely slow on large buffers compared to Terminal.
- rsl7 14y agoEnlighten us. I have read the feature list over the years and don't see anything that really stands out enough.
- eropple 14y agoPanes and saved pane layouts are handy; I generally want to move all my terminals in a group and they're great for that. It also has great tmux support built into the client.
- mitchty 14y agoThe only one that keeps me using it is mouse support. Terminal.app doesn't actually send any mouse events.
- colomon 14y agoYou know, it's funny. I said the exact same thing you did, then a friend convinced me to try iTerm2 about a year ago. I still couldn't put my finger on what's better about it, exactly, but I've never considered going back after the first day. It just feels right. It's probably easier to try than it is to find out why to try it...
- pclark 14y agoI say the same thing about why I loathe Chrome and adore Safari. I can't really say why, Safari just feels right.
