There seem to be 25 popular choices especially now with the GPU-accelerated ones. Tried a few of the classics like Termite and they all seemed painfully outdated and crappy compared to iTerm.
On Linux, I just use whatever ship with the distro Gnome Terminal, Konsole... and they work fine.
workflow was such a game changer for me, it’s so snappy.
Could probably be configured on other terminals?
What initially invited me to test iTerm2 was the one button quake style scroll-down terminal, but I stayed for the better tab management and much more customizable options.
Every terminal app I've tried on Windows or Linux insists on having a goddamn window border. I don't want even a single pixel of border.
And yes, this is enough to make me a die-hard iTerm2 user.
(users care about little things more than developers sometimes realize)
This functionality may be available in other terms, but iTerm just seems to nail pretty much everything in one package. I just wish it was available for Linux.
Its GPU accelerated and super fast. hard to go back to term after feeling how snappy it is. Plus its available on linux as well!
