I don't wish to do that.  I have multiple GNOME Terminal windows open
with multiple tabs each and don't want to remove or change its
keybindings as they've become muscle memory!  Xterm is perfect for this
ad hoc use.  I will often set it to be visible on the active workspace
so it follows along as I surf the Web or read email while the radio
activity I'm logging gets slow.

With so many choice available, everyone builds a list of software that
fits how they work and think.  Debian facilitates that way of doing
things very well.
