Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Customizability ends up being pretty important for serious developers who are always in the terminal. Ironically, I would say customizability ends up being pretty important for serious developers attempting to avoid working. I can't say my terminal itself—as opposed to the shell—requires any serious modifications at all. (I rewire the left option key and color schemes, and that's about it.)

if you dont heavily optimize your workflow (in this context that would mean improve your shell setup), you can hardly call yourself a "serious developer"

I guess my point is that the terminal has very, very, very little influence as compared to the ACTUAL shell. Yes, there are power users. I don't see them actually get anything done faster.

I moved to Terminal.app when it introduced tabs—KILLER FEATURE—and haven't been happier.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to making a difference and adding value in all your users lives.

This new version merits another donation. The stability of the current version is excellent.

I'm late to the thread but just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the hard work in general; and especially now for this:

"iTerm2 can change your profile (for example, affecting the color of your terminal) when you ssh to a remote host, when you run sudo, or even depending on your current directory."

Like many people, I use profiles mostly to have different colors for different hosts. This will make my workflow a little easier and a lot more consistent Every. Single. Day.

Köszönöm!

Is there a way to make a previously hidden iTerm window show without also bringing any other iTerm windows to the front? I'm looking to replace TotalTerminal with iTerm (since TT doesn't work on El Capitan without making OS X less secure), and tried using a function key to hide/show a small iTerm window, but while that does work, the problem is that when it shows the small window, it also shows my regular large iTerm…

I did try ITerm2 out for a long time but I found it dramatically reduced the battery life of (newish) macbook, I'd get perhaps 2 hours less per charge, as a result i've switched back to Terminal and using MouseTerm for scrolling in vim.

Have you looked into ITerms' performance in comparison to Terminal?

I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing manager. That's probably just because I'm familiar with it and I didn't come from tmux or anything similar, but I keep hoping I'll be "enlightened" at some point and realize the error of my ways ;)

I've found it so good, I switched to using Terminator on Linux. Terminator sort of mimics iTerm2's multi-pane layout, which I find indispensable on high resolution displays.
