An xterm is what I typically work out of. The standard console window
that bash can run in is too restrictive (eg, resizing the
window). Also, I work between my desktop (WinXP) and an Linux box and
xterms work for both environments.

Plus it may also be that I've been working w/ xterms for ~20 years and
I'm crusty and don't like to change that. :-)
