POX added Yakuake as alternative to ReTerminal- gramblo353 reviewed Yakuake
Lovely interface for the terminal, which I can quickly use and hide. This fits my use cases perfectly. Also very customizable, although the way the menus for that are set up is kind of dreadful. I only managed to enable transparency after 4 years of using it

Zooms in and out nicely with Ctl+Mousewheel
Goes on all my machines. The dropdown is irreplaceable.
very cool concept yeah as in drop down terminal. so much i cloned this functionality for an emacs frame through i3wm, so i can not only have a drop-down shell, but also anything that is able to run on Emacs like a text editor :p

Terminal on-demand with a hotkey. Can be customised to be transparent and fullscreen. Love it and been using for years.
Customizable and convenient alternative to Konsole on KDE environments.
