iterm has special integration with tmux. The big advantage is that you can quick...

I scroll using the mouse in tmux all the time in any mouse capable terminal (aka not Terminal.app, also regular linux terms).

I have a toggle to turn it on off in my tmux.conf, have a looky: https://github.com/mitchty/src/blob/master/dotfiles/tmux.con...

You can scroll in Terminal.app too, use the MouseTerm SIMBL plugin

Well, once you're bolting on plugins for features that come with iTerm2, why not use iTerm2?

Because I find iTerm to be a pile of crap on most of my systems

Out of curiosity iTerm or iTerm2? If the latter what is crap about it?

I have one huge gripe that I haven't been able to fix but its not that huge a deal. Every so often the terminal will lose its mind and start displaying mouse escape sequences. Nothing resets it out of this state, have to close whatever window I have open and start anew. Not a huge deal due to tmux but annoying enough to frustrate.

I've not found that to be faster than <CTRL+F> or <CTRL+B>. Same keys as in vim. I haven't found the value in using iTerm over terminal + tmux (same could be said for those that are more comfortable in screen).
