Huh? Why does Unix need a GUI terminal emulator with built-in SSH? I'd rather just run ssh in an xterm. What point am I missing here? I also don't see the need for Yet Another Xterm Replacement -- between xterm, rxvt, powershell, aterm, eterm, gnome-terminal, and konsole, hasn't that particular need been filled more than adequately? I actually don't even use PuTTY on Windows anymore; I only recommended it because it's a lighter-weight solution than the one I currently prefer, which is to run ssh in rxvt under Cygwin's XFree86 port.
