@mhoye some things I like about it:

- it has a text config file (unlike iTerm which I was using before)
- I like the defaults, my config file is like 7 lines

- it's fast

I don't remember why I switched anymore, I think probably I started using it because it was new and I wanted to try it out and then it worked well so I stuck with it
