Anyone use the Terminal split window?

I still haven't figured out any good uses for that split window thing. Anyone using it? If so, for what?

I'd forgotten it was there. I remember thinking, on the release of 10.2, "Oh, that's neat." - and then never used it again.

Well, I mostly use the split windows in ProjectBuilder, but occasionally in Terminal too.

Basically, I find it handy if I want to refer to the output of a command two screens ago while I build up a new command, or if I want to compare the output of two commands from the same window.

I haven't found it too useful. A better feature is tabbed shells:

It should be a killer feature, but I keep forgetting they are available. That might be because the implementation is not good enough?
