that is kinda funny. The main complaint of the other OpenGL terminal on the frontpage right now is that it doesn't have support for things like tiling or tabs, arguing that it is because terminals don't have nice interface support that we have to use hacks such as multiplexers.

This issue actually divides the terminal userbase. There are the ones with tabs like Gnome Terminal, and the ones that don't manage screens like Termite, st, xterm, and urxvt.

..and all of them run Tmux/Screen.

urxvt supports tabs as well.

...what? I guess I've not dug into the config options enough then. I use the i3 tiling window manager with some tweaks to add uniform gaps between windows and remove their borders/title bars - at first thought, I can't think where/how urxvt would put tabs and make them look good.

See for example: https://awhan.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/urxvt-tabbed/

Configuration is done through ~/.Xdefaults.
