So the only reason I switched to iTerm2 was because I wanted my terminal to change color when I ssh into different hosts. If I ssh into my work machine the terminal turns blue. If I ssh into my home machine the terminal turns purple. I'd tried to do this with the default terminal but ran into issues with it getting confused depending on how a session ended. People suggested iTerm2 because it supposedly solves this. And it does, at least for me.
