I use split panes all the time. Never got on with terminal multiplexers myself. Other stuff I like about iTerm2:

- configurable word boundaries for word selection by mouse

- X-style copy/paste (middle click to paste current selection)

- dabbrev-style word completion from current buffer, though I've not ended up finding this as useful as it seems it should be

But if you don't value any of this, then maybe you don't want it? Let me edit my post to fix this.

Thanks for the response. But yeah, none of that sounds like things I'd want. Especially X-style copy/paste, I'm really glad Terminal.app doesn't do that (although interestingly, middle-click actually does paste the OS clipboard, but there's no auto-copy of selected text).
