Finder Toolbar app to open the current directory in the Terminal.
- It's written in objective-c, and uses the scripting bridge so it's fast.
- It's also shell agnostic. Works equally well when your shell is
bash

To install "cd to.app" copy it from the appropriate sub-folder (iterm//x11_xterm/unsigned per your choice) to your Applications folder, and then from the applications folder drag it into the Finder toolbar (10.9 Mavericks requires ⌘ + ⌥) Be noted to drag from another finder window to toolbar being customised
To use, just click on the new button and instanly opens a new terminal window.
For old versions to use with iTerm or X11/xterm, using the finder contextual menu "show package contents" and exchange the plugins in the Plugin/Plugin Disabled folders respectively. Next time you run "cd to ..." it should open with the correct application.
