PowerCmd is a very cool console/command line tool that I find to be an awesome replacement for using cygwin & cmd. Actually, replacement is not the right word. It basically runs other consoles inside itself.
Why do I like it?
- Multiple Consoles with Tabs (I like 1 for server, 1 for development log, one for ssh, one for git)
- Nice background. You can pick a solid color or a picture. I have a nice dark coffee color for mine.
- Set the startup folder so it starts in your main projects folder.
UPDATE: I ended up getting a MacBook Pro. Terminal rocks!

i’ve read that powercmd didn’t play well with ssh…how did you get this to work?
It worked fine for me… but I had some problems when I was inside ruby script/console. It acted weird. The prob with ssh might have been with an older version. I was using 2.0 i think.
Anyway, last week I ended up switching to mac.
