Indeed. Paired with gnu screen and some bash scripts Terminal is very nice.

I've got, for example, ctrl+a+t setup to trigger a script that opens a new screen tab, prompts for [user@]host:, starts up an ssh session to the host, renames the tab to host for easy reference.

I still use Terminal.app on a daily basis but here are some missing features:

- 256 color support (for your pretty emacs or vim)

- advanced bookmarks, with tagging

- send to multiple tabs

For 265 color support you can use this: https://github.com/timmfin/terminalcolours

Doesn't that just let you customize 16 colours to whatever you want? That's not real 256 colour support, is it?

Correct.
