I\'ve suffered with the native Mac OS X Terminal app for over five (six?) years now. I much
prefer the Konsole terminal in KDE on Linux, or even the Gnome terminal. They have tabbed
terms, which helps considerably when I have dozens of terms open. The OS X Terminal app
has always been adequate, but never Really Good.

Over the years I\'ve tried all the alternatives: GLterm, iTerm, and all the Java options.
iTerm came closest to what I wanted but was too slow on my old 1Ghz G4 powerbook.

But now -- now! -- I have a new Intel MacBook Pro. I am happy to say that iTerm is Perfect!
Or at least, so much better than Terminal that I am just giddy.

Geek thrills.

<b>Update 26 Sept 2007:</b>

iTerm is a memory hog. All those tabbed sessions started gobbling ram.

But all is not lost. I discovered that KDE is now native on OS X 10.4. So now
<a href=\'http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/index.php/Home\'>I can use konsole on Linux and OS X.</a>
It has a nice split screen feature and more customizations than Terminal or
iTerm. But it does not let me use many of the same native Mac keyboard
shortcuts. Copy/paste (for example) are cmd-shift-c/cmd-shift-v, which is
awkward to remember. And the convenient highlight/middle-click shortcut does
not appear to work either. Too bad.

Why can\'t I have my terminal AND code too? 

<b>More update:</b>

Looks like OS 10.5 (Leopard) will have <a
href=\'http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/technology/unix.html\'>Terminal 2.0 with tabs</a>. It remains to
be seen whether I\'ll shell out the $$ for the OS just for that. I might.
