Me too. In fact I hadn't even noticed until the post.

I like iTerm2 for the following reasons:
- focus follows mouse
- selecting text can be set to set the cut buffer immediately, no %C
needed. Like X11.
- horizontal and vertical pane tiling
I've bound shift-%V to open a new vertical pane (splits the current
pane vertically) and shift-%T to open a new horizontal pane (splits
the current pane horizontally).
This is outstandingly useful for working in multiple shells.
I do a lot of remote admin and opening shells on a bunch of machines
nicely arranged for coordinated work is very pleasing.
And of course I've spent some time tuning fonts and colours, and made
things slightly transparent with a slight brightening for the currently
focussed pane. iTerm2 has lots of features, but the ones above are the
real winners for me.

Sattinger's Second Law: Even though you've plugged it in, it still won't work
until you switch it on.
