Even though OSX has a pretty GUI I find myself in the Terminal about 70% of the time. Luckily in the latest MacWorld Magazine they highlighted an app called the Terminal Here Plugin. It function should be familiar to any GNOME user, it gives you the option to open a terminal in the folder you are in.
In your development folder and forgot what version of gcc? Right click, ‘Open Terminal Here’, gcc -v. Done. Fast. Quick. I like. (Plus it is free and you can get the source also).

Can this work with iTerm? I hate Terminal.app :(
Not sure, you might be able to hack the source but I don’t know if it is hard coded to open Terminal.app or not.
What are the benifits to iTerm over Terminal.app? I have used both and have not seen really any reason to not use Terminal.app.

Tabs is a big plus. It also has profiling so I don’t have to export TERM, Macs are the only machines that seem to have weird keycodes, so setting a different term on everything I SSH into, only to have to redo it when I login from a Solaris or Linux workstation that already play nice with most terminals is a pain.
