This was a good list for the intermediate command line user looking to customize. For the absolute newbie I'd reduce it down to git/hg, ssh, grep/ack and curl.

For crazy power users, I'm a huge fan of vim+tmux+zsh combo as described in http://www.drbunsen.org/text-triumvirate.html

That's a good list. I considered including Git but that could be an entire article by itself. I've looked at TMux but I just don't I'd use it.

What's the difference between Tmux and iTerm2?

tmux is a CLI terminal multiplexer. As an interactive CLI program, you need a shell to use it. To run such a shell, you need a terminal emulator. iTerm2 is a Mac OS X only GUI terminal emulator.

You can run tmux in iTerm2.
