Metoo. Except I use xfce4-terminal and sakura. I've noticed 256 colors are enough for me (in fact, 16 are enough but the "standard" shades are not the ones I would use to color my source, code, for example), and font rendering is MUCH better in plain vim running under xfce4-terminal or sakura than in gvim (which doesn't have antialiasing, don't know about hinting). And, at least in my case, vim is noticeably faster than gvim, so... And yes, the "standard" terminal color shades are ugly. Probably they were chosen to provide shades which were as orthogonal as possible between them, don't know :? But they are mostly useless for syntax highlighting. Fortunately the 256 colors available for terminals provide good shades. They fit a bit better IMHO with a black background, but I find a white (or better, a light) background better because I focus better (greater depth of field with my iris a bit more closed).
