Thanks Homebrew maintainers and contributors

Usability feels like a second hand citizen to me, when it comes to things like window management / snapping. I come from a very windows-heavy background, so I appreciate the shell experience provided by OSX, but really hate the ear-flicks of trying to use multiple apps simultaneously, and snapping between them, positioning them, etc, in an OSX world.

To be fair, this could be a training / learn-ability issue that may not be present had I learned OSX first.

Your Xcode project directory probably had spaces in its path somewhere (which, for reasons of rather outdated conventions, is less common to encounter under Linux.)

Like with any other Unix, dealing with spaces in the arguments passing through a pipeline to xargs(1) requires the NUL-delimited style:

    find . -print0 | xargs -0 grep abcd

or you can stop worrying about the spaces by letting find(1) handle them:

    find . -exec grep abcd \{\} \;

or, even better, get grep(1) to do the whole job (which also has the advantage of tagging each found line with the filename the result was found in):

    grep -R abcd .

My iTerm2 disappeared in the upgrade to High Sierra. I don't know why.

I started to use the standard terminal and found it much more responsive that iTerm2. I never used most of the iTerm2 features anyway.

I'm sticking to the standard terminal for the time being.

Installing it from homebrew requires minimal effort and can keep you more up-to-date than the system version. It requires more effort to figure out that the included version is "only" half a year old than to just install a newer version from homebrew.
