It's bash, so it's better than cygwin, but identical to a Linux shell.
I use Apple terminal - there's a couple of other's that offer tabs etc
if you want those. Virtual desktops are available via Shareware sofware
(CodeTex Virtual Desktop).

Coming from Unix/Linux not Windows, I use all the normal Unix tools
for development - CVS/svn, emacs (CarbonEmacs) etc.

Much easier than I thought I would! You can plug a N button mouse in
and it'll just work if you really can't cope without more buttons. Most
people I know who have mac desktops do this. I've not bothered since my
main machine is a powerbook so I've adapted to the one button.

I view a mac as being just like a linux box for development, but with
the advantage of a nice desktop and access to MS Office when I need it.
