ITerm2 combined with zsh and oh-my-zsh gives you super powers.

I agree. I was a bash user for the longest time and iterm2 with oh-my-zsh is the best thing ever.

Awesome! iTerm + zsh... If only I could disable the scrollbar :/ On a related note, is there a show/hide animation like Visor too? I liked the "slide in/slide out" animation a lot.

+1. This is a great OSX terminal app. I love how quickly it has grown and improved. I encourage more folks to try it out. You'll love the color themes, split windows, built-in visor hot-keys, and more.

I downloaded iTerm2 about 20 minutes ago and I already love it. Anybody know of any downsides of using it over Terminal.app?

Is there a changelog somewhere obvious that I'm missing? It appears I've gone from 0.20 to 1.0, what am I getting here? The one in the source tree appears to be quite out of date.

They're using the forum to announce changes: http://groups.google.com/group/iterm2-discuss?pli=1

    #container { margin: 0 15%; }

looks much better as

    #container { margin: 0 auto; }

I expect downvotes but its a great app and it deserves a great website.

I'm not aware of any downsides, and I've been using iTerm2 for quite a while (a year?... haven't kept track of time).

You have to be kidding me, right? This app is so bloated and unpolished—it really doesn't feel like it belongs on the Mac. I'll take OSX Lion's sleek Terminal.app over iTerm any day. My favorite new feature, it lets you customize ANSI colors!

Screenshot of Lion Terminal:

Edit: I know I'm going to get tons of downvotes for this. But it's my opinion that something sleek and simple is much more powerful than something with tons of bells and whistles, especially when it doesn't look very good.

Edit2: To all those who bring up window splitting, the default terminal app does it too, as well as native fullscreen:

Does the font rendering seem very different to anyone else? Using the same font (Anonymous Pro 14pt), I had to increase the vertical spacing from 1.0 (as it was in iTerm) to ~1.18 to get the same spacing. Bold is rendered differently (worse) too. It does seem quite a bit snappier on my old G5 though. Comparison shot: iTerm on the left, iterm2 on right: http://i.imgur.com/9yA8y.png

What app are you using to browse HN in CLI?

You can hide the scrollbar. Preferences -> Appearance -> Check "Hide scrollbar and resize control"
