What's the difference between iTerm2 and Terminal on Mac?

Question

I have seen lots of programmers use iTerm2 instead the default Terminal on Mac. But, what's the difference between these two shell terminals on earth? For me, they are the same, I didn't see any difference except the different colors.

Answer 1

As of Lion's release, a lot of the features iTerm2 boasted for a while now are finally matched in Terminal. plus a more consistent full screen (Lion) support.
