Incorrect.  First off, aterm and wterm don't have tabs either.
Secondly, Eterm DOES HAVE TABS.

As for UTF-8, I don't own or run a single system where I haven't
forceably changed the default locale from UTF-8 back to C, and it has
nothing to do with lack of support in Eterm.  UTF-8 has proven to be
nothing but a royal pain in the ass across the board.

Absurd.  Other than GUI-based configuration and UTF-8, there's nothing
gnome-terminal offers over Eterm.  Unless you're one of those people
who likes to be able to get coffee while you wait for your terminal to
scroll.

Thank you for sharing Sun's opinion.
