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.

Wires are the best terminal by mveloso · 2015-11-13 07:48 · Score: 3, Funny

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.
