Konsole : it fits well with my KDE desktop, is very easy to configure, |
| 6 |
has tabs when I need them, has a nice font (Fixed GNU 11/13); |
| 7 |
KDE starts 2 for me at reboot, 1 for user & 1 for root, |
| 8 |
& I don't find it slow to start another on my fairly fast machine; also, |
| 9 |
it now handles Unicode properly, so I don't need Mlterm for Esperanto/Greek. |

Unfavorite is Xterm, which has ugly colors & is difficult to configure |
| 12 |
(ok maybe I've never found out how to do those things easily). |

I don't like transparency & other forms of intrusive eye-candy, |
| 15 |
just simple & pleasing shapes, fonts & colors I can go on looking at. |
