Interesting rant, but the problem is with the key bindings they chose to use in Terminal.app program. Fortunately in leopard most of the problems are now fixed, or can be configured to work in a non-broken fashion. The rest of us, in the meantime, all switched to iTerm which, although had some performance issues, behaved like we all expected terminals to behave. As far as terminal hell goes, I regularly find that when ssh-ing to remote boxes that backspace doesn't work. Or does in bash (because it's smart enough to play games) but not in vim. Somehow sometimes over ssh the key bindings for backspace get lost of messed up. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
