> Will miss iTerm.

I may be missing your point, but if you enjoyed the iTerm hotkey feature on OSX you should take a look at Guake[0] which is available on most linux distros.

I will miss iTerm as well, but I'm not worried. I feel fairly secure in the knowledge that there's lots of terminal goodies in the Linux userland that do the same things iTerm does.

Maybe Windows?

WSL for Windows with Ubuntu works... okay. I think they're totally on the right track, but it's still not smooth. I get terminal emulation problems a lot, and the weird display of the filesystem and the file corruption issues plague me.

I think the thing that most attracted me to the Mac ecosystem (for a long time) was the underlying shell (I do mainly data science, security and shell / sysadmin style work). Now that Windows is headed in this direction...

For all of these - I really wish for a faster video card in all of them. I like to run two P2715Q Dell 4k monitors for my work (thinking about the newer 34" ones), and all of these machines lag somewhat with that. (No, I haven't tried the EGPU for the Mac yet).
