The main benefit for me is it saves all the commands you want to commonly run. So for things like an SSH tunnel, rather than having to keep some snippet around to copy/paste into that new tmux window (yes, I use tmux extensively), I can just put all the random SSH tunnel strings I need into one list, and turn them on/off as needed.

Also, I have to disagree with the terminal experience on the mac being terrible. Between iTerm and brew, I've never come across anything I couldn't do, but that could be done on linux.

Usually when I want to repeat something, I make a script. Copy and pasting more than 4 times usually prompts me to make a script or an alias.

I mean, you are of course free to do what ever you want to do and have which ever workflow you feel comfortable with.
