Yes, xfce4-terminal is quite usable, too, and I just found out I still have it installed. ATM I cannot recall why I stopped using it. Might have tripped over a borked version at some point in the past? According to: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=roxterm&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all there are roxterm packages in Debian Jessie and Sid, but I have no clue why it was dropped from Stretch. Situations like this to me smell like negligent package maintenance, so I tend to stay away from those, unless it is absolutely essential to me. (In which case I'd try to coerce the unstable version into whatever suite I'm actually using. The standard disclaimer about "Franken-De(bi|vu)an" systems applies, of course.)
