I had the same problem. After using terminal.app exclusively for literally 13 years it became unstable and unusable for me on the new Touch Bar Mac and I switched to iTerm2. That is a noticeably slower program, especially with a big scroll back, but at least it's stable!

I have no idea what the cause of the instability was but I couldn't fix it and couldn't tolerate it.

You might be happy to know that macOS 10.12.6 (released today) says it "Improves the stability of Terminal app".

I had a similar issue recently with a touch bar mac. It would crash pretty reliably when deleting lines during interactive rebases. This was in tmux with EDITOR=vim, hitting dd.
