It's different from lxterminal, which is an advantage. IMHO, the more terminal emulator programs you have, the better. So: lxterminal + Sakura > lxterminal lxterminal + Sakura > Sakura I have no opinion as to whether lxterminal alone is better than Sakura alone. They're both excellent (as is xfce4-terminal). I would say that a keyboard-centric type of person might gravitate toward Sakura because of the many changes that can be made with obvious hotkeys. Also, the person wanting to maximize screen real estate might like Sakura without tabs and without a scrollbar. People liking mice and/or a menu driven interface will probably be more attracted to lxterminal or xfce4-terminal. For this reason I would make lxterminal or xfce4-terminal the default terminal on a Linux distribution. By the way, I would rate any of the three terminals discussed above as superior to xterm, aterm, and Suckless st. I'd also rate them above gnome-terminal and kterm because they don't drag in huge monolithic entanglements (perhaps that might be questionable on xfce4-terminal --- I'll leave that to the reader's decision).
