I also recommend and use `urxvt`, but I would also add (and others haven't mentioned this) I use `urxvtd` and `urxvtc`. `urxvtd` is a daemon, and when you run `urxvtc` it spawns another urxvt 'client' off of the daemon. It results in a lot less memory usage and much quicker terminal start-ups. Doesn't matter tons if you already have a beefy system, but it helped tons on my older laptop that I used to use, and I've continued to use the feature since then.
