I've been using iTerm for over a year now. I like it over Terminal for a few reasons, but primarily because it supports multiple frames. This makes my workflow easier as I can see everything on a single screen and can easily navigate from one frame to the other without reaching for the mouse. I've additionally abandoned MacVim for Vim. Now, I can do most everything I need in a single, maximized, iTerm window. But I get annoyed with opening iTerm and having to navigate to the directory of my current desire. Most of the time, I am already browsing the desired directory in Finder as I begin a hacking session.

Pairing is Conversation
I really enjoy pair programming. It seems a natural process to me and I often wonder why it is that I like it so when others may not. Clearly, we have differing tastes and styles. I am sure that contributes to the joy (or lack thereof).
I've been watching others pair lately. And there is something I've noticed; pairing done well is conversation.
