I'm an iTerm user as well, but I hardly use any of its features -- I stick with it primarily because its font rendering is better than any other terminal I've tried on macOS. My needs are pretty minimal and aren't terminal-dependent, e.g. tmux, neovim...that's about it. I just need the terminal to display text, really.

What features from iTerm make you love it so much?

Also not GP.

I create profiles for starting up each part of my work tech stack (backend, frontend, workers, specific ssh connections, etc.) and I can run/switch to them in separate tabs via shift-cmd-o and typing a few characters of the name. Can also start up all of them at once via an 'Open All' command for a group of profiles.

I'm not GP, but tab splitting and tmux Control Codes integration are 2 of my main productivity features in any software.

I haven't found any other terminal emulator that has them. On Linux, Konsole has decent splitting but no `tmux -CC`.
