The Terminal application has been steadily improving with every major release of Mac OS X.

I’ve personally found this to be a very helpful feature with just one caveat: It requires frequent upkeep when working with multiple projects.

When I’m developing within this ecosystem the task of trying to keep track of all the activity going on between these apps is a major pain point.
