What's wrong with the Terminal.app? Except for the fact, that it does not really work?

Yeah, for simple stdout/stderr output it is fine, but for medium-sized ncurses apps it is a major PITA. Even Icaza's own Midnight Commander does not work there.




No, seriously, what’s wrong with mc in Terminal.app? I mean, OS X and Terminal.app take over function keys for other purposes like, I don't know, changing the volume, but these things can be disabled if you want to use function keys for something else, like mc commands.


no idea what you are getting at.


Neither do I. Ncurses and mc work just fine in OS X Terminal.app. Even under 10.8.1
