I have not had luck finding an equal to iTerm2 on Linux. While there are many to choose from, few combine all the features (color support, themes, layouts, configurable hot-keys for navigating panes, etc.) in one package.

The one thing I miss the most is having nearly border-less panes for differing font sizes. To my knowledge, that can't be done on tmux or screen.

I'd welcome any suggestion of a terminal with the features of iTerm2.

Or give a tiling window manager [0] a try. My favorite is i3 [1].

+1 i3 is pretty darn good. Would be great if it was a little more user friendly though :-)
I'm just curious what parts you find not quite user friendly enough?
Oh it would be nice to have reminders for keyboard shortcuts, in status bar when you press the meta key etc. Since you're relying on a lot of memorising - that would be a huge asset.
I second this recommendation, though I personally prefer XMonad or bspwm for my own tiling WM needs.
Have you tried gnome-terminator?[0]
