I've switched to iTerm

I was using GNU screen for a while. I liked having only one window open for multiple sessions in Mac OS X. However, setting up the configuration is not an easy feat. In recent months, however, I've switched to iTerm. I was against a tabbed command line environment because I didn't want to use the mouse to change tabs. But in iTerm you can cycle through the tabs with Command-arrow. You can get iTerm from their sourceforge page. I know that screen can do much more than iTerm, but I'm not really using those features, so for now iTerm will suffice.
