Not sure why you're getting downvoted into oblivion, but for a terminal emulator with a great feature set (minus the X server part), iTerm2 has served me very well (and can integrate with tux sessions to display tmux tabs and windows as separate OS-level tabs and windows).

I thought it was a legit question. So I don't understand the downvotes either.

iTerm2 seems to be what I'm looking for :-) I can do X easy enough on macOS, it's all the other stuff I was looking for.

What do you use for x on macos? Xquartz was unusable for years. It's true that a new version came out recently, but it still doesn't feel great. Are there any better options?

Yeah, I feel like they’re being weird because you haven’t heard of such a common tool, but I figure you’re just one of the lucky ten thousand [0] today!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! I only recently realized it even can fire off notifications when onscreen text matches a regexp pattern [1], which has been fantastically helpful for some scripts I use for work that take forever to run and I don’t want to babysit but want to know if they error out.
