I second this idea with one caveat. If you use a lot of X-windows applications
and need to cut and paste between them, use xterm. If you want to be able to
cut and paste between OS X applications, use Terminal.app (or alternatives, I'm
not familiar with iTerm).

I configure Terminal to automatically open a set of predefined terminal windows
at login (use Terminal Preferences).
