Just that the prompt automatically goes on a new line makes iTerm2 so nice though. As well as the built in timing of commands, jump to previous prompt, double click selects matching parentheses, etc. it's those little details.

  If you have a command that doesn't print a new line, the prompt normally ends up on the same line as the output of the last command. iTerm can "fix" this.

      This is an option that you can enable. It's not on by default.

      Don’t shells usually fix this? I know that Fish at least includes a little Unicode “return” arrow when it appends a newline.

zsh does this out of the box, and Apple is defaulting to it in Catilina.
