Love it. Only person at my school who can use one without screwing something up. Windows Command Prompt has a thing or two to learn from OSX Terminal, like adjustable window opacity.
My favorite tool on Linux and other Unix operational systems.
The Terminal really is a beast! Once you get used to using this, you can't use anything else.
The real thing
omnipotent thing!
All-in-one utility. It's my life ;)
how else would I get around
I didn't expect such a great terminal application from Apple, a company that is kinda trying to hide the UNIX back-end from its OS X operating system.
A great tool.
The latest version, in Mac OS X 10.6, is essential, flexible, and incredibly useful. I have no major gripes; the styles are fairly customizable, the keyboard handling is adjustable, and it has tabs.
The only issues I can think of are issue common to Apple-built applications: slightly "buggy" window placement/sizing (or annoying auto-placement/sizing), not "workspace oriented" (can't save a preset cluster of windows and tabs), and no reliable plug-in architecture.
Regardless, it's an essential tool that blows the Windows terminal out of the water and is hard to beat at free!
Ha, Terminal is the 7th most popular apps among TWiT group members, that says a lot about it :) And yes, I love Terminal.
Why would I choose OS X without Terminal? Very important app!
Without it, OS X wouldn't make sense to me!
Does the job. Has lots of features I don't use. Alpha-channel transparency is a must. Sometimes I still have to revert to a *real* xterm for some UNIX systems like Solaris.
