I use gnome-terminal because it has tabs and color. I used to use |
| 7 |
multi-terminal, but I switched a long time ago because I found that |
| 8 |
gnome-terminal was more stable. I rarely (if ever) use xterm because its |
| 9 |
look-and-feel is so outdated and it doesn't support tabs. |

In that operating system masquerading as an editor (XEmacs), I use |
| 12 |
shell-mode because I can use all the power of a customizable and |
| 13 |
programmable visual editor on shell commands and output. (I just |
| 14 |
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 |
| 17 |
Workshop) on the old Macs. Editing and the shell were seamlessly |
| 18 |
integrated. Wonderful. |
