I use Rxvt-unicode, only because I don't use a DE (just xmonad). It works fine with what I need (screen, irssi and vim), and it is fairly light. Previously I used eterm, but I found it a bit heavy. So, What's your preference when it comes to terminal emulators? Gnome-terminal? xterm? Why? | ||||

I use PuTTY, primarily because it's free, but also because it has quite a few nifty features. | ||||

xterm. 1) It's as lightweight as you can get. 2) it's always available 3) it has some advanced key combinations to change things like font sizes on the fly. | ||||

Mac OS X - iTerm because you can get rid of the scrollbars (I hate them in on term) Linux - gnome-terminal because of its support for clickable URL's and great selection/paste support. I want something lighter but havn't been able to find anything with the same amount of features. I also love their transparency implementation. Windows - rxvt under cygwin. Support for transparency is great and it makes me feel at home like I'm on a *nix box. I've alway's been suprised that their has not been more innovation in the world of terminal emulator's. As dependent every *nix system with X installed is on them, and how much time is spent using them it seems like they would be packed with great features and awesome UI's. I guess, it's not necessarily broken, so no need to fix it. Brian G. | ||||

gnome-terminal in linux. Mainly because of the tab support - I especially like that you can detach tabs by dragging them. | ||||

gnome-terminal on Linux, PuTTY on Windows. PuTTY is great and it's free. | ||||

Xterm, because it's what other terminal emulators try to emulate.
I don't need tabs because I use GNU Screen or Tmux. | ||||

Konsole on Linux, PuTTY on Windows. PuTTY is real nice. Snappier and more stable than RXVT for Windows. Konsole is the default terminal for KDE and it is fine. It also has tabs for multiple sessions which is nice. | ||||

I used to use kermit-95 as the terminal emulation was comprehensive, and it was very scriptable. I now use PuTTY on windows. | ||||
