almost certainly iTerm. You can config an iTerm profile to have borderless windows in recent-ish versions.
Oh, interesting... I just looked for it, and I found that there are patched versions of iTerm that are borderless; is there actually a way to configure standard iTerm in this way? that'd be great.

As an i3 user (and former wmii user, and former xmonad user), I find it really frustrating to use tiling window management that doesn't support focus-follows-mouse.

Sadly all the tiling window managers i've tried suck on multi monitors though. When i switched to 3 monitors i gave up on tiling wm (for once with 3 monitors i had A LOT more space).
Nuf said.

The reasonable solution is to use one of the many native tiling applications for OSX. I personally use Spectacle[0], but there are many others[1]. They aren't xmonad, but then again OSX isn't Linux.

I've only ever used i3 on two monitors[0], but it's been great for that. I'd also be a little surprised, just because multi-monitor support was quite literally the reason that i3 was created (wmii does not support dual monitor…
There are things I miss about Xmonad on OS X, but for the most part, this setup is not for the faint of heart. Largely, relying on [u]xterm (which I thought would be a snap) has pitfalls. Overall, the small annoyances simply sum up to be quite the downer & time-suck. In action, Xmonad is quite the zippy experience; certainly Xmonad on Linux must be a joy. I use tmux now, which I guess is OK.

just a nitpick: I'm pretty sure Aqua hasn't been a thing for years now.
It's in reference to the native OS X window manager. AFAIK it's still called Aqua.

(Hence the name "XQuartz" for the X11 display server.)
One of the big drivers for me to switch back to Linux 7 years ago was Xmonad. It's a fantastic and extremely elegant piece of software from many points of view. The only little glitch is that you need ghc to use it and that's a rather big dependency.
