Ask Slashdot: What Terminal Emulator Do You 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.

JuiceSSH is a nice terminal app by ZahrGnosis · 2015-11-13 08:54 · Score: 4, Interesting

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.
