Command is (mostly) control under Window (CMD+C/V/X for copy/paste/cut, CMD+P for printing, CMD+Z for undo, and so on). It's also used for alt-tab.
Option is Alt. Used to modify some keyboard shortcuts like the above, sometimes on its own, and often used to type in alternate characters than standard on your keyboard (Option+e e gives you an accented e).
Control is honestly something I use often outside the terminal on macOS. I think Control+<left/right arrow key> gets you linear navigation with multiple full screen windows or multiple desktops. It probably does more, I don't know.

I wish Apple opted for an Apple key that does window management (similar to Windows), so that those shortcuts are separated from application shortcuts, but I love at least how configurable they are.
