Ask HN: What terminal emulator do you use and why?

I'm fairly picky about the terminal emulator I use. Dealbreakers for me are broken true color support and broken multi-lingual support.

For a while I have been using st, but have been underwhelmed with how it handles input modules, like IBus.

Recently, I came this repo: https://github.com/anarcat/terms-benchmarks, which describes itself as "Reproducible results for LWN review of terminal emulators: https://lwn.net/Articles/749992/ ."

I'd love to use mlterm for it's excellent multi-lingual support; however, true color support is pretty bad. From the results of the review above, I've decided to give Terminator a whirl.

Gnome Terminal. It's simple and easy. My runner up is Konsole from when I used KDE a lot. It has the quake style drop-down feature and introduced me to my preferred keyboard shortcut configurations for navigating terminal tabs.

SecureCRT, mainly because of its support for scripting and active development (VanDyke implemented a feature suggestion of mine).
