Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

I feel there is an advantage in setting all your dev apps to use a consistent color scheme, especially your terminal and text editor/dev environment.

you don't install zsh directly from git repository ?
git clone git://zsh.git.sf.net/gitroot/zsh/zshigreg commentedAug 1, 2011
You can also decide to install mysql via brew, which is relatively painless and is easier to maintain than a DMG/.pkg

ZSH is already installed on mac os x, do you see benefits from installing a custom one?
juanpabloaj commentedAug 1, 2011
I installbrew, is great!!
thanks
I have a preference for installing things from binaries and installers when possible. Even for developer tools. This is a principle for me, that things should be designed to be as simple and repeatable as possible. Repeatability is the most important aspect for development process. The habit of building everything from source has deep root in Unix world that we can't change, but on the Mac it is not necessary and I would argue adds time and complexity that thousands of people have to endure. If you consider total load of time and effort on the human race, as you always must do when building something many people will consume, you should come down on the easy and fast side.

Homebrew command did not work for me on a fresh install of lion, but going to the mxcl's page to get the latest install command worked great!

benjohnsonn77 -> hey, do you know how I can get that build - I'm having the same problem with my LionServer box - homebrew won't run. I can't ge that build from github - always returns a 404 -suggestions?

suggesting a wget piped to sh with the--no-check-certificate flag is terribly irresponsible.
