Yeah. I realized it was so important when I noticed that my main daytime use of my Mac was to operate my Linux machine via iTerm2.
Like any time I need to do something complicated, like a process that I might want to document after the fact... iTerm never loses history, you can get timestamps on every command after the fact. It's automatable, you can easily tell it to open 10 terminals, replaying a different CLI command sequence in each... I could go on and on and on, but I can't think of any other example of an app that has so thoroughly dominated its category.
I mean maybe like Microsoft Excel for Windows, but that is from a whole other angle (that is not software excellence haha)...
