If you mean BS key on your keyboard by your word "BS", I agree.
If you mean BS code (0x08) output to tty from softwares, I don't agree.
Such change of de-facto standard is just impossible. This is not a
discussion on which is technically better.
It is not only kterm's practice but also every Japanese terminals'
and every Japanese enabled softwares' practice. I remember you are
living in Japan now, aren't you? Then you can try Japanese version
of MS-DOS, Tera Term, telnet included in MS-Windows, NCSA telnet,
rxvt, eterm, aterm, wterm, and so on. I think you cannot find any
column-oriented terminal which moves cursor in two columns for one
output of 0x08 code.
