I don't know of any other temrinal for os x that has mouse support and 256 colors, as well as all the other useful features of a linux terminal (copy of select, paste with middle click, intelligent url/file highlighting on double click etc.) I'm curious why so many people have a negative perception of it... I've been using it every day for a couple of years and I think it is the only program I use that has never crashed. What bugs have you come across? Also I don't find it slow... certainly cat'ing large files or scrolling a large file in vim aren't noticeably slower than any other terminal. Anyway the point was that while not quite as nice - you can get more or less the same usability as macvim through vim in an ssh session.
