No. xterm has features that don't exist in any other terminal emulator -
Unicode support (-u8), for example. There is no reason for every terminal
emulator to support all the options that xterm supports (try
xterm -h 2>&1 | less and take a look.)
As for -e and -T, I know that Powershell offers x-terminal-emulator and
doesn't accept -T.
