Tilix
A tiling terminal emulator for Linux using GTK+ 3.
What is Tilix?
Tilix is a tiling terminal emulator which uses the VTE GTK+ 3 widget with the following features:
- Layout terminals in any fashion by splitting them horizontally or vertically.
- Terminals can be re-arranged using drag and drop both within and between windows.
- Terminals can be detached into a new window via drag and drop.
- Input can be synchronized between terminals so commands typed in one terminal are replicated to the others.
- The grouping of terminals can be saved and loaded from disk.
- Terminals support custom titles.
- Color schemes are stored in files and custom color schemes can be created by simply creating a new file.
- Transparent background.
- Supports notifications when processes are completed out of view. Requires the Fedora notification patches for VTE.

This is, by far, the best tiling terminal emulator that I've found for working with VMs and containers. A great help.
Overall it's a great terminal. A stand-alone terminal along with a quake-style dropdown is an excellent feature. It's easy to use, looks good, and handles splits and sessions well. There are only a couple of things I don't like about it: it's not compatible with w3m-img, nor does it tile properly with my window manager.
