I couldn't code without konsole because it gives me tabs, infinite scrollback and decent font support. And as for why desktop environments code their own terminal emulator: desktop integration, for instance with notifications is very useful as well.
On my laptop, konsole starts up without any waiting time as well -- probably because I've always got at least one open already.

Also search -- I can't live without search in my terminal program. I've been using konsole on my gnome desktop for years now. It's just a really good terminal program. I don't know why *other* desktops have written terminal apps though, everyone should just use konsole. :)

Thanks for the responses, both.
It looks like most of those things aren't relevant to me since I tend to do everything in screen anyway, which isn't to everyone's taste but does explain why I've not felt a need for extra terminal features.

You know... I use screen as well :-) I have virtual desktops, windows, tabs and screen screens. I have to admit that I get confused now and then.
