Terminal.app isn't so bad once you install TerminalColours and MouseTerm. xterm can be difficult to configure, it doesn't do tabs, and copying and pasting follow X11 rules in it. I prefer native applications wherever possible.

iTerm on the other hand is slow and bug-ridden. The last thing I want when using a terminal is for it to render choppily and crash on me.

Terminal.app still only supports 8* colors. And GNU screen is a more-than-capable replacement for tabs.

I'll have to try out MouseTerm later.

MouseTerm is great! I've been looking for something like this for a while...

Thank you!
