Use tabbed terminal windows with iTerm
Authored by: idiotben on Mar 03, '03 11:23:55AM

iTerm is slow as hell and does not work well with ncurses based apps (like irssi or mutt). screen is far superior is everyway, and I'd rather use Terminal.app than some broken "iTerm" anyday.

Use tabbed terminal windows with iTerm

The speed has improved a fair bit in the last few versions.

I've nothing against screen, which does lots more useful things, but I've become thoroughly addicted to iTerm since I started using it a few weeks back.

I like the fact that you can track changes in the other tabs by the colour changes on the tab text. I can keep track of what's happening in several terminals by scanning the tab bar - rather than having to flick through several screen sessions.

With Apple's X11.app you can just install KDE and use its excellent terminal program - tabs and all. Cut and paste even works if you run Apple's window manager properly.
