Every copy of Mac OS X (or any Unix-based system) ships with a Terminal application. Terminal lets you run commands and access deeper tools than what’s available through most applications with a GUI. But, many have also complained at the lack of features that the default Terminal has. This is where iTerm comes in. iTerm has a ton of features like AppleScript support, custom background pictures, Bonjour support (with bookmarks), mouse focus following, rearrangeable tabs, a customizable interface, and even the ability to send a command to multiple tabs. The list goes on. iTerm is an amazing app that’s nearing its 1.0 release, which I really look forward to in the near future.
Rating: 5/5. Nice app, easy to use. Everything Apple didn’t include in Terminal.
