$10? It might be a fun trick to show off to friends, but I am sure as hell not doing any serious work in that. iTerm2 'till I die!

A fun trick? Are you kidding me? I've never spend money that fast before (I had bought it before it got in the App Store). Cathode is awesome, especially if, like me, you have ever worked in such an environment (VT100 etc). I even dropped iTerm 2 and use Cathode all day long. Something about the blast-from-the-past feel makes me more productive and feel like an ol' hacker. Only wish it had tabs.

It's a neat toy, but is pretty much useless for real work when compared to apple's built-in terminal. Seems to not correctly support PS1s, at least in the case of zsh. I'd be surprised by anyone that would actually pay $10 for this, seems like $1 would be a better price point for a toy app.

You just used "real work" in the same sentence as "osx built in terminal"? Has Apple made a lot of fixes to terminal recently?
