I really like terminator because it's easier to use than byobu, especially when you can use a mouse. I used terminator but it's very heavy on a remote X session. Terminator is much less heavy on your network. ease of use is great so far.

Supports interacting with multiple terminals at the same time (broadcasting what is typed), occasionally disabling the broadcast and re-enabling it.

I find very useful its tiling feature. It was my first termianal when installing GNU/Linux with #!Crunchbang.

What could be better than one Terminal? Only two Terminals in one window... or three... or as many as you need, arranged in the order that makes you comfortable to work with these consoles.

What is Terminator?

Terminator enables the user to run and manage multiple terminal emulators side-by-side in the same window. The main focus is arranging terminals in a grid. (Tabs is the most common default method, which Terminator also supports.) It is inspired by such programs as gnome-multi-term and quadkonsole.
