I used to use multi-terminal, but I switched a long time ago because I found that gnome-terminal was more stable. I rarely (if ever) use xterm because its look-and-feel is so outdated and it doesn't support tabs.
In that operating system masquerading as an editor (XEmacs), I use shell-mode because I can use all the power of a customizable and programmable visual editor on shell commands and output. (I just stumbled upon eshell (Emacs shell), and I'll have to give that a try.) The best terminal/shell I ever used was MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) on the old Macs. Editing and the shell were seamlessly integrated. Wonderful. --- Vladimir Vladimir G. Ivanovic Palo Alto, CA 94306 +1 650 678 8014 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
