Same, lol; that really is the only unique selling point for me at the moment. Although I'm sure there's a lot of subtle things (performance, font rendering, tabs, etc) that do it for me as well.

The latency of iTerm has traditionally been much worse than Terminal.app. It got a bit better with GPU rendering, but it still trails behind Terminal.app quite a bit.

I tried iTerm for a while because Terminal.app does not support true color. But the difference in latency is definitely noticeable to me.
