xterm, so I have the same on MacOSX and on Linux, and because it&#x27;s very stable. Also it&#x27;s very easy to create an xterm from script.<p>But in truth, most of my shelling (which is probably what you wanted to ask) is done with emacs M-x shell, so without any terminal emulator. (Also notice that most of the rest of my shelling, done in xterm, is actually done in screen).

native macOS and HyperTerm (i&#x27;ll drop native when HyperTerm has no more tty bugs). Native because i find iTerm a bit laggy when handling multiple windows with multiple tabs. HyperTerm because ElectronJS &lt;3

Terminator usually, on Mac i use iTerm because it is the closest to Terminator.
