I use iterm2 but I’m not sure why I bother because the default terminal was fine too. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time

Terminal.app is fine, especially if you set a couple preferences (option as meta mainly) if you really want to use an alternative terminal use Cathode.app and make it all cool and retro

Terminal.app didn't used to support 256 colors like 9 years ago which is why iTerm became popular

iterm won't let me set terminal colors from the touch bar like terminal.app and it's such a niche-rear end problem but it makes me prefer terminal.app

its not like cmd.com then?

It was only ever half as bad as the windows console. You could at least resize it to full screen.

iterm has great tmux integration

For Windows I use cmder/conemu. It supports shortcuts to show/hide the console in a quake-style drop-down. Also chocolatey is a decent package manager.

Malcolm XML posted:iterm has great tmux integration It supports the OSC-52 clipboard escape sequences, which is nice when you have multiple tmux panes. I tried to submit a patch to PuTTY to do the same once I had to switch to a Windows desktop at work, but they didn't accept it due to security concerns, and now I have to maintain my own fork to get basic stuff like that.
