I've never quite figured out the advantage to these integrations, either. The only "terminal" that I use occasionally in an editor is BBEdit's "Shell worksheet", which is actually just a plain text document that will send the current line to a shell when you press ^Enter and paste the output into the document starting at the following line. (This is equivalent to Emacs's Shell mode; I don't think I've seen it in other editors.) And I only use that in cases where I want to capture terminal output and do stuff with it in a text editor because, hey, it's right there.

And, so far I've never found a source control integration that I really like more than using command line git or, on specific occasions, standalone git GUI clients.
