It's only loosely an app, but having a real unix terminal (without having to run a VM) is the biggest reason I'm hooked.

  Almost every Linux distro gives you a terminal. :-/

    And an arguably much better terminal at that. That being said this is still a huge advantage over Windows.

    I use Linux (and Solaris, and BSD ...) on a regular basis. But whenever I use linux on the desktop, the provided terminal feels rinky-dink compared to iTerm2.

    Of course! I probably should have clarified and said something like "being able to run a real terminal alongside programs like Photoshop without having to us a VM has me hooked." I love linux, but there's a lot of software I use every day that only exists for mac/windows.
