I greatly prefer Terminal.app on OS X, very standards compliant and predictable; if a bit slow but iTerm2 is slow as well.

iTerm's killer feature for me is the special paste modes - it is trivially easy to do things like visually select a block of processes numbers from ps and then paste that block as a space-delimited list on one line to kill them, etc. Terminal.app is fine for most things but can't do stuff like this.

While it's better than the default terminal, iTerm2's tmux integration has always felt weak contrasted to the advantages of tmux.
I've used tmux for the past four years as my main environment, and was totally psyched to hear they were integrating it into iTerm2. But when I began digging into it, little from my workflows translated to the "integration" provided by iTerm2.
While it's a great feature of iTerm2, I find myself just using regular old tmux instead.
What features of the tmux integration do you utilize in iTerm2?
And for sitting through this, here's how to remap the default tmux hotkey: https://github.com/erronjason/dotfiles/blob/master/.tmux.con...

I believe I get less lag in xterm within an Ubuntu VM than with iTerm2.

I mainly like it because scrollback works in the GUI.

#9Does anyone run tmux with a tiling window manager for local development?
If so, what are the advantages? I know automating sessions is one of them, as explained in the article.
I am more interested in hearing about interactions with the terminal. You already get good mouse-less window management with something like i3 or xmonad.
How about copy & paste? I use urxvt plugin for this, but I often find myself using the mouse to select and middle-click. Is tmux better?

I run i3 and tmux. The biggest reason I do this is that I'm much more used to tmux key bindings rather than i3. Moreover, I don't think I'd get any huge benefits by getting more used to i3 key bindings.
Edit for another reason: I use Tmux on my work laptop (OSX) and on my Desktop (FreeBSD + i3), so my key bindings are supported on essentially whatever machine I'm on.
