iTerm: Tabbed Terminal For Recovering KDE junkies
One of the things I missed most when I switched from KDE to OS X was a good terminal program. iTerm seems like an excellent replacement. Its got tabs for all those unix junkies, who, like me, have about 10-20 sessions going to multiple servers at once. Having 10-20 windows up is a massive pain, even with expose to sort things out for you. Its so much easier to have tabs running along the top.
Other nice features include: color changes on the tab when text in the terminal has changed, transparency (am I the only one that watches movies through his terminal window while baby sitting a server upgrade?), quick command keys to launch profiles (like log into the firewal when i hit command shift f).
iTerm is yet another shining example of the beautiful software that can come out of the open source world. It has now joined jEdit on my must have open source list.
