I noticed your main editor is emacs? I consider myself a Terminal Native as well, but why dont you like using GUI Emacs and Eshell/m-x Shell instead?

  It doesn't seem to work properly. It doesn't pick up my .bashrc, it doesn't have colors, etc.

    Where did you find a GUI Emacs that doesn't have colors? I use http://emacsforosx.com http://emacsforosx.com. To set a color theme: M-x customize-themes. You might want/need to install more themes, you can do that with the package manager (M-x package-list-packages) If you want your ~/.profile to be sourced, a quick fix is to open the GUI app from the command line. Apps launched by finder don't source your profile.

      my emacs does have colors. It's M-x shell that doesn't have colors. And this goes to the point of why emacs users like myself use iTerm. Because it works. The only thing I had to setup in iTerm was my color scheme. And even that wasn't required! (iTerm is launched by finder and finds my profile just fine.)

  In practice I find Terminal/tmux/emacs a more pleasant experience to me than GUI emacs/frame and window/shell. GUI emacs does brings nice features: -multiple fonts / font sizes at the same time (nice for minimap http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MiniMap http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MiniMap !) -more shortcut possibilities with s- added to the usual C- and M-- -more colours Shell/ansi-term modes don't work well enough. There's always problems with shortcuts/encoding/escape sequences/Ncurse.
