Yes. MLTerm is ugly - it doesn't have Gome-terminal's options, menu, 
scroll-bar, opacity and other features.
The reason is simple enough - it's not a Gnome application. it was written 
directly in X API (AFAIK).
If MLTerm will be ever included in RTL installations by default as this bug 
suggests then it should be known and agreed that it's only a temporary solution 
- a workaround for the real problem.

Besides that, as Yaron said before, I think people are entitled to hold their 
own opinion and speak of it publicly.
You have a different opinion and I respect that.

Yaron:
If we want to fix Gnome-terminal we should first come up with a design that 
Behdad Esfahbod will approve. He will accept a patch only if it is using the 
"right approach" to solve the problem. Behdad claims that none of the existing 
terminal emulators he knows solve the problem correctly. I can only guess that 
he knows about the existence of MLTerm as RTL enabled terminal and he probably 
found some flaws in it's methods of dealing with RTL text.
