Just to get back on track... besides the ones mentioned so far, what are the features you all think are missing in an SSH client?
Do any of these terminal apps permit logging of command chains i.e. as with desktop terminal you simply push the up arrow to retrieve commands recently executed?
For the casual user this can be very useful, and the determining factor in a purchase for me personally because of how I use terminal.
As for price sure if someone wants to make it available free let them, but if it has the features a user needs I dont see why a couple thank you bucks isnt reasonable for there effort. I think if an app was $0.50 you would still here some cry why isnt it $0.25 .if the app fits your needs and you can afford it (lets be realistic most prices are a fantastic value) then buy it, if not then wait for a fee app to come along or dont.
BTW thanks for the effort and research to see what the user wants in an app.
