Ask Slashdot: What Terminal Emulator Do You Use?
An anonymous reader writes: Although I spend a considerable amount of my time at work using shell commands and other text-based applications, I've never really given much thought to what terminal emulator I use. A recent article over on Opensource.com rounded up their picks for their seven favorite terminals, but I'm still unsure if it really matters which one I pick. Do you have a favorite terminal emulator, and if so, what makes it your favorite? I'm interested in hearing about that "one killer feature" that really sold you on your choice.
It was sent back from the future to save your terminal.
LXTerminal - no dependencies to GNOME, light, supports tabs, moving tabs and naming tabs, copy and paste. I don't need anything else from terminal emulators. http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXTerm...
ZOC is hands down my favorite terminal emulator.
Best emulation, including ANSI. Full scrollback buffers. Zmodem support. Runs on OS/2 *AND* OS X. Love it.
Xterm all the way. Its fast no-nonsense, low dependency and get the job done. Perfect with Fluxbox
This is more of a Linux thing, Windows users are mostly locked to the OS-provided console UI, but there are a couple apps out there. I used Console2 for a bit, which has a bunch of features over a standard Console window, then I found ConEmu which is what I like to use now. I configured it to work like a Quake-style console which is fun and easily accessible.
This is harder than I would have thought. I'm working on a custom build of NetBSD for a project, for desktop use of a sort. Trying to find one that isn't part of some other DE (which is fine, but I'd rather have one that doesn't rely on a bunch of libraries that are only installed so I can sue it), AND has tab, unicode and transparency support is hard. I still haven't found a decent one, although have a few more to search through.
In the meanwhile, I'm using tilde and xterm.
If you ignore ACs because they are anonymous - you're an idiot.
Every candidate they list is a local console application using a local framebuffer desktop system.
Real terminal emulators are network detached from a headless server system.
I use PuTTY SSH from Windows, command-line OpenSSH from a native (non-graphical) console for Linux, or VxConnectBot on my Android phone (which has a slider keyboard).
Sometimes I'll actually use an old-school serial-port terminal emulator on an old Amiga to connect to my "desperation serial port" console on my home server. Weird how that thing will be working when must network-based ttys are down.
Welcome to the Panopticon. Used to be a prison, now it's your home.
Pretty minimalist. :-)
Terminals are lame. I like being close to the machine, so I wired the serial port right into auditory nerve. I had to drop the bitrate to 7-O-3 to get it to work reliably.
I'm still working on the input part. It's hard to concentrate on input when the damn thing is blasting your ear every few microseconds with noise.
GNOME terminal
You can preset profiles with different colors on background and running different apps and even restart command when it ends (ssh reconnect)
I recently was working on a machine with no internet connectivity trying to visualize some data with gnuplot. Only I discovered that some distros (won't name names here, but it's not an obscure one) by default install gnuplot with no bitmapped graphics support. I thought I was up a creek until I noticed that gnuplot has support for xterms's tektronics graphics mode. While it still has limitations (no color!), it got the job done. I'd like to see your fancy semitransparent Gnome Terminal handle hideously obsolete vector graphics.
I read the internet for the articles.
Defaults that work well give me no incentive to change...so gnome-terminal (known as mate-terminal on most of my systems) and osso-xterm.

Pretty much answered the stupid question.
If you have the misfortune of running a GUI, you can quickly get to a tty with Ctrl-Alt-F1. Who needs emulation?

I still remember the time when "multiple terminals" meant "grab another nearby vt100 while the first one's busy". Then there was screen(1), and we saw that it was good
Guake is the first thing I install on a new distro. Terminal drop-down is only a keypress away.
I'm still using good old xterms when on Unix. They're super stupid fast, they use basically no memory, and you can change the font size quicker than with any other terminal in which you don't sometimes change it by accident by mashing keys.
If there's a terminal icon already in whatever launcher, though, I generally just use it until it pisses me off
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Dammit, now I'm going to have to find the install floppy.
Konsole with zsh, another reason, (Outside of the brain-dead UX that is Gnome), why I use KDE instead of Gnome.
All things being equal, I prefer KDE's Konsole. It has all the features I need or want (tabs, profiles, easy customization) and fits well in the KDE environment.
If I'm using a simple window manager, I go for rxvt because it's lightweight and still hits most of the feature list.
What I actually use the most is Putty thanks to the fact that I'm at work and Windows doesn't include a sane set of utilities.
The hall of shame award goes to Apple's Terminal.app. Horrible handling of the bash key shortcuts.
Alex, I'll take keybindings not used by Emacs for $400....

For just opening a terminal on my desktop/laptop, I'm using the default mate-terminal (I run Mint w/ MATE).
However, when I'm coding (usually PHP stuff) I use Kate as my editor, and it can use konsole as a terminal at the bottom of the editor. Instead of toggling back and forth between windows, or even switching my focus from one to another on my dual monitor setup, I can see webserver error logs or whatever right there in the editor.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
I use GTKTerm for being a 'real' terminal connected to embedded kit via serial ports (either real, 9-pin beasts or virtual via USB). Outside of that, I use Gnome Terminal - for when I want to launch ssh onto another computer as well.
Konsole
Gnome-Terminal
I don't see any point in anything else.
Wuss. Real men don't use emulators, IBM 3270, baby!
PuTTy. It isn't a "terminal emulator" in the sense that it is the terminal for the local machine. It is used for connecting to all those remote headless servers out there. I'm personally locked into Windows on my workstation for the time being due to other Windows only software requirements, so this is a good bridging application to access all the Linux, FreeBSD, vSphere, and SmartOS machines that I work with.
Most of my work nowdays is done on a Win 8.1 box with Cygwin installed. I used to use rxvt until it broke a couple years back, now it's mintty.
On Linux, I don't know. Tried to upgrade my Linux box a couple weeks ago and got the message "your video chip is no longer supported". Sure nuff, it won't go into GUI mode. Haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.
Whenever I dial up to my ISP on my 1200 baud modem using an acoustic coupler, I prefer using Kermit!
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit...
That was the turning point of my life--I went from negative zero to positive zero.
I've never understood the appeal of Quake-style drop-downs. The last thing I need is quick command at chat speed, and, as a server sysadmin there's usually nothing interesting on my laptop/desktop to begin with -- I'm administering servers that are out there doing stuff.
For Windows (and OS X, finally), I've gotten accustomed to SecureCRT's interface and tend to find it the most comfortable. SecureFX is a little less reliable on the Mac (I prefer CyberDuck or another more Mac-like client), but its integration with CRT's keystore makes it super convenient.

But I'm not sure if its ever been attempted. So depend where I'm working: Mac OS X: iTerm2 UNIX/Linux: Mostly XTerm, as I rarely need more than it gives, but gnome-term on occasion. Win32/Cygwin: ConsoleZ, an improved fork of Console2 . I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am for ConsoleZ from freeing me from the inane rectangular select regions of cmd.exe. Sure cygwin has rxvt for line oriented selection, but it doesn't work for anything that outputs to the Win32 console. ConsoleZ does line oriented selection for Win32 and cygwin.
M-x shell in emacs for anything long-running, or where you need copy-paste. M-x rename-buffer lets you run several shells in one emacs. If you have a file opened with tramp e.g. open a file named "/user@other-host:/etc/that-config-file" (i.e. ssh to another system) , M-x shell will launch on that host (at least in recent versions).
Also other shell-based interfaces like mysql, tclsh will usually have their own mode, launced with e.g. M-x sql-mysql .
Emacs does not like ncurses-based apps, so then Xterm needs to be kept around. These days emacs handles normal ansi-colors quite well, though tramp will usually fail if you try to open files on a busybox-based system.
For one-line, one-off commands Xterm or system default.
I use PuTTY to SSH into my FreeBSD box. And no, Netcraft has not confirmed anything.

I love the broadcast feature of mrxvt because there are a number of situations I get into where it's just handy to control 20 different machines with the same keypresses.
Unfortunately it doesn't support modern typography like UTF8. So I am using xfce4-terminal which mostly does what I need. Wrote a little script to deal with the broadcasting that leverages pconsole to get me there.
I don't always connect to my ISP using dial-up on a 1200 baud modem with an acoustic coupler, but when I do, I use Kermit!
That was the turning point of my life--I went from negative zero to positive zero.
I'm using mate-terminal. Given that I'm running a Mate desktop, it makes sense. However, it does depend on mate-desktop-libs, so I wouldn't recommend it to uses of other DEs.

Back when I cared, I used Terminator. Then I discovered tmux, and now I don't care.

If you're a sysadmin or devops engineer (or whatever the popular term for unix admin is these days) you're going to want to be able to broadcast input to groups of terminals.
Terminator (Linux)
iTerm2 (OSX)
As the topic says. URxvt can be just as eyecandy as a heavier VTE-based terminal, and I use it with Flux/Openbox. I haven't figured out how to tab it though, which is why Xfce Terminal is still the one I spend the most time in.
I'm dissappointed. I was hoping to hear about COWs next great adventure!
You can have my VT100 when you pry it from my cold dead hands....
Well, that is if I still had one.
Who am I kidding. I just use whatever comes installed by default. I never did use any really fancy terminal features beyond color displays. XTerm is fine for me. Though I do remember back in the day when the choice would actually affect basic features.
Windows: PuTTY, followed by Cygwin's own terminal.
MacOS: iTerm. It what the Terminal is supposed to be.
Linux: rxvt-unicode. It's a classic terminal, but it's just a terminal. Nothing more, nothing less. XTerm is just too bloated.

I tend to connect over kitty (putty with some extra features). Then on my server I use tmux for multiplexing, tab-like behaviour and all those goodies. Other times I use the secure shell app on my chromebook to SSH into my server. I then attach to the same (persistent) tmux session.
Typically I just use PuTTy in Windows to access my Linux environments. I don't do much command line stuff IN Windows so the Command Prompt is all I use for that.
When using Linux [as I do all day for work] I typically use XFCE's Terminal then use GNU Screen
Nothing to see here
step up to the adult table and get real. Ive long since given up my old terminal emulator for a much more purist representation of interaction with the kernel. using two 45lb electromagnets, one strapped to each hand, I pedal a small generator with my feet and vary the field strength between the two accordingly to properly submit cpu bytecode to the ALU. to check uptime I measure and record the number of rotations of the cpu fan using an inductive loop wound around my tongue. mainstream users will balk at the lack of a "gui" or "mouse interface" but I assure you its well worth it to get the best performance on slashdot over curl.
Good people go to bed earlier.
Been using SecureCRT for years and it has met what I needed.
I use Cathode, a fully-working terminal emulator that visually looks like an old black-and-green CRT monitor.
I like OS X best when it's running Cathode at full-screen. I use the demo version, that starts sputtering and flaking more and more over time. So that fucking $3500 company-issued MacBook with 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and 2,8 GHz quad-core Intel i7 looks nothing more than a flickering and dying pile of barely glowing phosphorous horse-shit.
8 of 13 people found this answer helpful. Did you?
I work as a consultant and I have to use Windows as my primary OS due to software requirements. I also have to manage session data for hundreds of customers, and even more devices, so I choose SecureCRT. It lets me store sessions in a tree structure and also has the ability to store credentials (use with care) and automate logins via functionality similar to expect.
The only terminal emulator I know of in Linux and X11 is x3270. Or did you mean a VTxxx emulator?

I really like Tom Brennan's Vista TN3270. http://www.tombrennansoftware.... The scripting language is simple yet powerful, and the fonts are really easy to read.
I use JuiceSSH on my phone, which is amazingly useful more often than it should be necessary. It falls fairly low on that link, for some reason, so maybe I should check the others out.
puTTY on Windows.
Otherwise I'm connected directly to a linux box and just SSH out from a native command line. I don't tend to boot into X unless really necessary, and then I'm normally just stuck with xterm until I can get out of it.
And I don't know when the last time I had to terminal from an apple product is, so I don't even know any more for that one.
It's nice to have a good terminal console, however personally I feel been much more using Xiki, which is a more powerful shell.
Specifically urxvt256c. dwm with rxvt is a beautiful thing.
Dude. I don't know if you're right or wrong, but these sort of posts are making you look a little crazy and stalker-ish. I can't stop you from continuing, but your reputation is not improving this way and you're not making your point.
It was a knock-off of a DEC terminal. Its a part of our back-up system. We are using state of the art solaris 8 system as our main system. It went in 4 years ago.
Wait..... you said emulator??
I've used rxvt since the early 90s, only switching to urxvt when I needed Unicode more often than not. It's small, fast, and has better vt100 emulation than xterm. I prefer my terminals side-by-side rather than in tabs, with minimal extra fuss (a scrollbar is OK, but a huge menu bar and tab bar is right out). Note that I can still get tabs using either a perl extension or using screen (I use screen, but for other reasons). In fact, I have to wonder why opensource.com decided to promote xterm, but not rxvt, which is better in every practical way.
I use GNU Emacs because I like to edit and see the results from one screen/window.
MobaxTerm is great if you're stuck on a wintendo, X11 forwarding works right out of the box. The shittiest terminal emulator on any other unix system is 10 times better than anything available on widows so it doesn't matter what you use for the unices.
Allows all of the Emacs search/copy/paste/etc. functions.
Killer feature is: run a command with 40 pages of output; do incremental backwards search to jump to different things. (Optionally copy a section of output and paste into another Emacs buffer.) All without having to touch the mouse.
Many people don't realize how much time they waste visually scanning lengthy output without that feature (and grep is frequently not a good substitute for searching.)
... also, I can kill you with my brain.
For serious terminal work, I'll open whatever my distro provides. My linux-fu is weak, but I see no major difference between most terminals. My main exception is having a dropdown terminal in the style of Guake/Yakuake. I still use a standard terminal for serious work, but for quickie commands, a dropdown terminal with a keyboard shortcut is a major time saver. I especially love it for Xkill. I don't like needing to use xkill ever, but when shit goes fucky, it's a godsend. Window froze? ctrl-F12, xkill, click.
I use RealTerm, but that's probably not what you're asking for.
I like mrxvt because:
1) It's tabbed. OK, almost everything is now, but I would hate to give them up
2) It's -not- unicode. If something looks like an apostrophe, I want it to -be- an apostrophe, so I don't get inexplicable syntax errors when I cut and paste a shell commmand
3) It has a very nice -e option, which lets me start an ssh to the same host under a pypty (script-like command written in Python) in all tabs of the same window.
...and is customizable from the command line: I have a set of about three dozen color-customizations, one for each remote host I work on. My menu has "run an ssh remote session on this customization of RXVT" for each of those hosts. Can't do that with most of these new-fangled terminal emulators...
"My opinions are my own, and I've got *lots* of them!"
So for various unfortunate reasons, I've recently had to have Windows on my system. I struggled a long time before settling on my strategy:
Install latest git for windows, git bash comes with the right sort of mintty with a shell that behaves sane with respect to Windows conventions while having bash. I go into settings and enable the ctl-shift shortcuts and off I go. No tabs, but otherwise makes me not miss the Linux terminals as badly.
Things I tried but did not like:
PuTTY: Obviously, no local capability, but even for remote hopping about the CLI is more convenient than the Putty connect dialog. I keep it around for serial connectivity in a pinch.
MobaXterm: Handy for the canned X server, but the filesystem perspective it presents is totally alien to the 'real' windows filesystem, and it insists on useless toolbars and such that are just a waste of my screen space. A *lot* of terminals insist on toolbars, don't want them. I keep around when there's the rare need to do X forwarding but I have not set up Xpra on the target
ConEmu: Falls short in the VT emulation, there's a lot it can't render. That said it's pretty good for powershell and such.
Note I also install alt-drag as a matter of course.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
I use mintty with Cygwin on Windows 7. mintty was originally developed from PuTTY. It's clean and robust. It recently got a new maintainer and started seeing updates, and the new maintainer added in my favorite removed feature that I had asked about 3-4 years ago. I use it all the time at home and at work.
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.

Ok so it isn't free... it is by far my favorite, its the little things like being able to set line send delays and past in 10k plus lines of API calls into a broken API that chokes when you hit it too fast. I've never run into something it couldn't do or couldn't make easier.
As a legacy from the HP3000 of the 1980's - I always prefered Reflection - because it emulated the standard DEC and HP terminal types. So, since the late 1990's on HPUX and Linux, stayed with that.

It is a good SSH terminal and has got everything. It even comes with a built-in X server so you can launch X apps remotely.

DECterm: the closest to a VT320 you can get on X11
there are 3 kinds of people:
* those who can count
* those who can't
1. One good feature is - switching to the last used tab. I bind it to ctrl-tab. Most terminal emulators support going to next, previous, nth tab, but last used tab is somewhat rare.
2. If a non-current tab has any activity, its tab icon gets a notification. This feature seems to be missing in much later terminal emulators - e.g. recent releases of gnome-terminal, lxterminal, xfce-terminal. Lilyterm has this feature, though.
Bingo Dictionary - Pragmatist, n. A myopic idealist.
The few times I need a terminal emulator, I fire up my VT220. Yes, I do it for shits and giggles - though it does work wonderfully well and has a very comfortable "UI".
From this you can conclude that I don't do computers as a job, since a VT220 would not be exactly ultra-portable ;)

I was expecting a poll, so we could settle this once and for all.
ROXTerm is the only one I found it has a good balance between speed and functionality.
Anyone else here running Qingy? It replaces getty, runs in the frame buffer and handles logging in both via console and can start X for you so you don't need a regular display manager like x/g/kdm.
Once I started using GNOME 2.x I started using Gnome Terminal. I quickly grew to love having a terminal emulator with multiple tabs. I am still using it (well, now it's MATE Terminal) but I also use tmux to have multiple windows per tab.
Each tab is a different computer. Tab 1 is generally the local computer upon which I am working; then tabs 2 through whatever are the various remote machines. I ssh to the remote machine, then run tmux and open as many windows as I need.
tmux is essential so that I can pick up where I left off if anything interrupts my work... with SSH, if your Internet connection glitches, you lose your connection; with tmux you can re-attach to your previous session and continue your work right where you left off.
I have met someone who runs doubly-nested tmux sessions. He binds both Ctrl+A and Ctrl+B as prefixes, and he uses one of them to switch "outer" sessions (which are one per machine) and the other to switch nested terminal windows (multiple windows for working within a machine). I like having the separation of using Alt+1 through Alt+0 to switch machines and then Ctrl+A,1 through Ctrl+A,0 to switch windows on a particular machine. (Besides, I'm a vi user and I actually use Ctrl+B when editing.)
In a previous job I had to work on Windows a lot, so I used Console. I customized its hotkeys so that it works just like Gnome Terminal.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/
For a while I was daydreaming about a GUI terminal that can use the tmux protocol and have tmux features perfectly integrated into the terminal: use the GUI scrolling thumb to scroll within the tmux history buffer, etc. But these days I'm used to working within tmux and I don't really need the features to be part of the GUI terminal application.
A bonus of being used to the way tmux works: I can still do all the same things when logged in using JuiceSSH on my Android tablet. I buy Bluetooth keyboards that have the control key somewhere sensible so I can type commands and be productive.
lf(1): it's like ls(1) but sorts filenames by extension, tersely
I love a pretty desktop (KDE), and Yakuake is the best dropdown terminal that I've found.
My favorite is whatever but se the font to OCR-A and the colors to green on black... ahhhh. much better :-)
"Enjoy what you're doing! If it becomes drudgery, you're doing it wrong!" - Jim Butterfield
I didnt see that mentioned.. I have been using this more now then xfce4-terminal emulator..
xterm brags that they have the most faithful emulation of the DEC vt100/220/320/420/520 state machines of any implementation on the market.
I have Cygwin on my office Windows PC, and when I have to work with a VAX or otherwise use a complete and faithful terminal emulation, I use xterm.
If xterm had tabs, I would never use anything else. Since it doesn't, I use gnome-terminal under Cygwin. The xterm maintainer has interesting things to say about gnome-terminal:
...so I use gnome-terminal under Windows for most everything, except when I need extremely high-fidelity.
p.s. I will say that our production floor relies on the Reflections commercial telnet client. They like the old version so much that I had to wrap it in stunnel - there were too many objections to the new(er) ssh versions. I really don't like Reflections myself.
Favorite show polish.
Runs ksh (or bash) under cygwin on Win10. Full suite of Unix commands. Light footprint. I can ssh to my Linux/Solaris systems.
I sometimes bring up the cygwin X server and fire up some X clients on other clients.
This works well for me as I need WIN 10 to run corporate applications.

I use terminal emulators on most popular platforms (excluding MacOS) and I have not yet found a perfect one. Windows has lots of good choices such as Hercules, PuTTY, Procomm, TeraTerm, uCon. The one real advantage that some of these have over anything available for Linux is the ability to throttle data being transmitted (such as an X-modem upload of a flash memory image). Another important feature missing from many of the Linux offerings is the ability to display serial line data as hex-ascii in realtime. Many embedded systems lack deep FIFOs or even interrupts so they will drop characters if the rate is too high. I have not seen a viable terminal program for Linux that handles this well. Aside from the built-in "cu", Linux has some pretty good offerings with Minicom and Kermit. Android has a built-in terminal which does a pretty good job. ConnectBot and SSHDroid are my favorite client/server. Sometimes I use SwiFTP to fill in the gaps. (Of course the GUI offerings such as ES File Explorer are good too.) IOS has limited offerings, but with the lack of serial ports I mainly just need SSH/FTP. SSH-Terminal does a very good job and even supports (some of) the X11 protocols. (For GUI I like Files Connect.)
It's faster to open new rxvt instances than tabs in the other terminals
Works well. Available Everywhere.
Mostly I use xterm, but if I want one with decent UTF-8 / Unicode support, I fire up xfce4-terminal (part of the XFCE desktop environment.)
I really don't care about the terminal emulator itself that much (though I use PuTTY on Windows, Konsole on Linux, a virtual terminal provided by getty on FreeBSD, and the default terminal app on Mac OS X). The one thing I *do* care about, though, is having tmux.
I can attach and detach from sessions at will (which is incredibly useful when working via SSH, especially doing important things on a lame-o inet link), I can multiplex windows and panes, and I can send keystrokes to multiple panes simultaneously. I really can't recommend tmux enough.

I'm using a copy of SecureCRT that I bought over 10 years ago (actually probably closer to 15 now). It has worked flawlessly on every version of Windows I've had during that time.
It is nicely portable between new machines too; I just have to keep a registry file with the license info in the directory to import when I move to a new system.
I suspect at some point it might just break. But I'm pretty happy with the mileage I've gotten out of it!
It supports tabs, and split windows within each tab.
Apple Terminal is my favorite. I use GNOME Terminal mostly, but if I had my druthers I'd use Apple Terminal all the time.
Flame away!

You PROVE I AM FOR ME part #1-#4 of your "Greatest Hits Fails"... apk
I have made an honest attempt at going full suckless (including st, dwm, ...) but I always find myself going back to KDE (including Konsole). I find Konsole with solarized themes very nice. On the other hand, what terminal emulator you use is most likely related to what type of desktop environment that you prefer.
Those who can, do. Those who can't do, talk.
You might want to consider killing yourself.
Did anybody ever used that xterm Tektronix emulation for anything worthy of remark?
It always baffled me as it seems that nothing exists which profits from such emulation...
I mostly work with Cisco equipment. I use PuTTY on both Windows and Linux PCs - having the same interface for telnet, SSH, and serial connections is handy, though occasionally I will just use native SSH and screen commands from whatever the built in console app is.
And I use GetConsole on my work issued iPhone. With the Redpark lightning to RJ45 serial cable it's great for making quick config changes from the console port, as well as being a telnet and SSH client. Highly recommend.
http://www.get-console.com/sho...
I prefer Gnome Terminal but will just use xterms if GT isn't loaded on a system that I'm using.
PuTTY - and sometimes ProComm.
I love mobaxterm for Windows. It also has a portable version.
I used to use xterm until quite recently. Did everything needed, plus I was familiar with how to customise it. Recently, I switched to urxvt for two reasons. Sshing to some systems will cause the xterm to die unpredictably (I figured this must have been something to do with prompt setting), and secondly urxvt supports unicode right out of the box. This has made life much simpler i my text-based email world, as I can now read and type unicode directly, rather than have to use some Tex-based ascification.
enough said
Rxvt /end
Shit, you're going to have me break my page down key.
I just love the graphical concepts behind TermKit.
Really, I use Konsole all of the time but I'd love to step up and get to use a TermKit lookalike.
Just needs support
Selecting between guake / yakuake / konsole / gnome-terminal is pretty pointless.
if you like a "slide up from top" terminal it does not really matter if guake or yakuake.
If you want something kde-based or gnome-based, the libraries of yakuake / konsole and guake / gnome-terminal are the same.
Others like mrxvt, urxvt are completely missing.
I use Cathode for the nostalgia. It can become the C-64 from my pre-teen years, or the TRS-80 from High School, or those DEC Terms from Undergrad or that VAX system over the Summer, or the Pre-X terms still left oer in the computer lab in Grad School. Its great. You can decide how curved the CRT is, how much flicker or overscan or even burn in. And the wonderful clicks and bells are still there. Something about it just says 'this is a computer' - it speaks my mother tongue in some way.. Its fun. Otherwise I use Terminal in OSX.. meh.
A couple of months ago I was forced to work from a windows machine. Being a Linux guy, my first move was to download putty, but another admin at the site told me to test mobaXterm. It is gorgeous.
One of the things I like most from it is that it integrates a file browser that follows you as you hop from one machine to another, making dead easy to transfer files to your machine.
I've since been looking for a linux equivalent and found none. I would love to see this features in konsole!
Having my terminal scrip-table and extensible is a must for me.
urxvt (aka rxvt-unicode) has perl support. Comes with some great useful scripts out of the box. Haven't found anything else that comes close to being as useful.
Said by geminidomino the sock puppet.
Apk does do and proved it. Coren22 doesn't and it's you posting ac now Coren22. You totally blew it on every point he made.

I use PowerTerm the majority of the time; although I sometimes use SmarTerm; and Putty once in a while. The think I like the post about PowerTerm is the ease of cut and paste. Also it is quite easy to add function key definitions.
Just click the titles to minimize him, it isn't even worth scrolling past.

I do do, I get paid very well to do. Enough that even though I am a single parent, I support myself, own a house and a Tundra. While you live in your mom's basement, and the only thing you have to show for your life is a host file aggregation "engine" that has no cylinders (so why call it a v8 engine when it is 9.x?) written in shitty Delphi and some "How to secure Windows" docs I could have written in my sleep when I was 20.
So, what made you drop the #4 post? You realized you were wrong finally and figured out that whatever solution you use is actually a type of proxy (as that is what it is doing, not a specific implementation)?

Coren22 - please: It's a fact that all anyone has to do is look beneath your posts for a month now @ the ones I put up with your massive fails vs. me to know what's-what here...
APK
P.S.=> You just can't stop trolling, can you? I mean, lol, so you LIKE abusing yourself?? apk
Hahahaha I had a laugh looking at your blunders coren22. Apk also exhausted 100's of your abused modpoints so you cried to mama http://slashdot.org/comments.p... and you just don't want others seeing your fails list against apk and you certainly never prove him wrong on all his points on hosts either. Even other /.'ers back him on them.
I haven't had mod points in a month. Just because the majority of Slashdot is annoyed by you and downmods your crap posts as off topic, redundant, overrated, and troll as they rightfully are, does not mean I am employing a sockpuppet army.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Coren22 don't speak for everyone. The post before yours got me to peek your post history. You blew it so many times against apk I can't count them all. I also saw hundreds of his posts down moderated on friday alone but nothing today strangely. You're out of troll ammo and so are your sockpuppets. Hehehehe he posted so many times in some way you can't figure out and exhausted your ammo stockpile like he said he would.
I don't need to speak for everyone APK, you seem to like to act like you do though. Keep it up, you are just proving me right by consistently using the same technique.
No one misses that this is you posting APK, no one is that stupid. So, either you are incredibly stupid, or you believe everyone on Slashdot is stupid. Personally, I am betting on number 2, because it fits in with your narcissistic personality disorder very well.
As far as the stuff downmodded, give it time. You are looking back three days and commenting on the downmoderation, and comparing it to the last few hours. I was camping all weekend, so I didn't downmoderate you, and as I have already told you, I have no mod points, haven't had any for about a month. But, when I have modpoints, and I haven't posted in a thread when I come across your crap, I absolutely will downmod you. You are a troll, and most of your posts are trollish in the extreme. You very often post offtopic, just like now (what does this have to do with terminal emulators?). You often post redundantly, that is your OCD in effect.
Keep posting, you don't bother me, you just highlight your issues.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Get real. Your reactions and signature proves apk got the best of you. Nothing does it more than apk's posts of your greatest hits fails though. Those were funny. What was funniest wasn't only your massive technical errors and lies but also your attempts to hide them by minus moderating them. APK also stayed true to what he said he'd do in exhausting you of modpoints. Apk's techniques were too much for you and it is hilarious goading you into projecting that even more now Coren22.
Your greatest hits fails apk posts speak for you Coren22 and so does your signature. Your rants now only reinforce it.
I think it is time to replace "NOBODY expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!" With "NOBODY expects APK!"

Mine is putty for windows (when I use windows)... the killer feature is the ability to highlight text to copy and right click to paste.
When using OSX, I simply use the terminal that comes with it... it's highly customizable but there's no killer features for me.
On windows I use a combination of mRemoteNG/Putty. mRemoteNG stores a list of sessions in a tree view. Can be grouped into folders etc.. You can assign a saved putty config to any new mRemoteNG connection. That way, X11 forwarding, etc.. is all handled by Putty. mRemoteNG is basically just a nicer putty shell that supports tabs, and other connection types like RDP/remote desktop.
I also like cygwin for quick command line scp from windows to headless servers.
On linux I'm using Pac Manager. Very similar to mRemoteNG. It helps you organize all your connections into a tree view. Supports many different ways of connecting (vnc, remote desktop, ssh, etc..).

If you're running a terminal, GNU Screen is absolutely essential. And when you're using GNU Screen, all terminals are pretty much interchangeable already.
So, technically I run Gnome Terminal. But I run Screen inside of that.
Less-technically: I use this https://extensions.gnome.org/e... "Drop Down Terminal" extension, which allows me to bind a key (such as the otherwise unused "context menu" key on my keyboard), to cause a terminal to drop down, as it would in Quake or other games with a "console".
Drop Down Terminal (running "screen -A -x -RR"), has, without any sarcasm or hyperbole, completely revolutionised my workflow. It gives the ability to treat the terminal as something you "peek" at, between doing other tasks (which take place either in the web browser, or some window dedicated to being a text editor). I cannot go on enough about how much I think this should be a thing everywhere.
As a bonus, it gives a use to that otherwise completely useless "context menu" key.

Poderosa is a .NET based ssh client thats pretty good, though you need to be using the latest beta which has serial support (unfortunately located at sourceforge, but just a .zip package so no adware installer tentacles). Main dev is apparently now located at github even though the releases are still only on sourceforge...
Am I the only one using st? It's simple and lightweight, pretty good (my choice was xterm, but one day I tested a lot of terminal emulators, and this one is the perfect choice for me).
sakura all the way - you may need xcompmgr to get the transparency working though :)
I use ANSITerm on the Atari ST. It’s the only terminal program for the Atari ST that supports full 16-color VT102.
[Most won’t get the joke, so I’ll ruin it. I wrote that program, and it’s still popular among retro computing enthusiasts.]
