- yep, a 'me-too' for konsole from here; works jus'-fine in twm & xfce; easy
to have it auto-open exactly how many windows, tabs-per-windows,
startdir-per-tab, etc via its cmdline-opts and usual shell-alias/wm-config.
Also never have problems with its resource consumption - e.g. 4 windows, 8 tabs
per win, long-term, no probs at all.
Fernando, you might like also (if not already) to have a look at 'screen'.
As for vim: I can recommend 'elvis' as a vi editor, for both functionality and
maintenance. (It's the default in Slackware: '/usr/bin/vi -> elvis', and vim
is standalone '/usr/bin/vim') . ((Fwiw, I still like vim, but think it's a
little ... become a bit too convoluted.))
