In a former life without my usual desktop I was using Konsole and moved to gnome-terminal purely because Konsole ignored Shift-Return, a typing error I make quite often.

I like my eye candy, though I do ensure the transparency dims the background to about 75% of its basic brightness, and the background is usually a darkish image with low "features", such as a space nebula or something like that. | > I use konsole, its pretty slow compared to others, but with | > all the extra set of features + bells and whistles included, | > tabbing, and more importantly my mutt color settings just | > look so w0W in konsole, and like wise the fixed/smooth font | > is so readable... | | Tabs are a feature for which I've never found much use in a terminal. With plenty of screen space and easy window sizing/positioning I prefer lots of terminals (and desktops) to lots of tabs.
