iTerm2 is a fork of the older iTerm project. iTerm2 is a Terminal replacement and the successor of iTerm. It focuses on speed, internationalization, and building new features to improve your life. Divide a tab up into multiple panes, each one of which shows a different session. You can slice vertically and horizontally and create any number of panes in any imaginable arrangement. iTerm2 features excellent internationalization support, including support for Unicode combining marks, double-width characters, and all Unicode planes.
Very well thought out user interface. Tabbed terminal sessions are a great idea! Very versatile and flexible.
Cons
Tests of previous versions using Per Lindberg and Thomas Dickey's vttest utility have shown some problems in a few areas. I haven't had a chance thoroughly to evaluate this latest version.

Best. iTerm. Ever.

Beta bugs..

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />iTerm is great. 0.9.0 seem to have some beta issues though:
-arrow up, to get previous command, and delete sometimes results in that cursor moves up in the text above.
-home(fn+left arrow) sometimes works sometimes not (?). No big deal, ctrl+A always works.
-memory leakage; just closed iTerm and 500Mb RAM was released, can't be right..
It is still better than other terminals since multiple tabs are great.
Someone had written something about memory problems in the 8.2 version. Is there an older version without these bugs that run natively on intel macs?
Not there

Apples Terminal is pretty brainless but this one is a wannabe...
What has happened to my function keys...
Why can't you double click on a link ?
Why is it when I search on function keys in the help file it shows me three pages but none of them talk about function keys or function or keys ?
Perhaps when it comes out of Beta I'll try it again.
Excellent but...

Nice work

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The latest version (as below, once you're over the initial shock of the metal tabs) looks very promising. The font rendering with antialiasing on is about the only thing that doesn't ring true: things are pretty murky with, say, Monaco.
I'm tempted (for the nth time, n large) to dump Terminal for iTerm: let's see how a week's trial goes...
Love it.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />ITerm is one of the first utils I install on any new installation.
As a *NIX SysAdmin I was used to other terminal-utils with tabs and I was delighted to find one for Mac OS X too.
Although the interface to setup profiles could be made more userfriendly it is sufficient. I am able to use bookmarks and shortcut for all of my systems with ease!
And you can't beat the price!
Best out there

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sure the config menues are a little wonky, but this app has all the capabilites I come to expect from a terminal (tabs, sending input to all tabs, etc) and is free. And indeed, there really aren't any other options.
I've very happy to see that development hasn't completely stopped on iTerm.
