Not to forget iTerm 2 on macOS is amazing. I find it much more pleasurable to use than the default Terminal.app

I try it every few years, but always seem to end up going back to plain Terminal.app. The main issue is speed and memory usage— iTerm2 seems to be much slower and laggier, especially on a busy laptop (running VMs).
Because *nix kernels provide terminal devices, making a new terminal program is relatively easy on OS X compared to Windows where a lot of the free things have to be written in userspace.
I usually use iTerm2 as well.
