Mate Terminal
Sick of Gnome's nonsense; using Mate. Love its terminal. Not on the list, though. :-(

Konsole. It's fast and has lots of options and tabs, just in case I'm too lazy or forget to use GNU screen.

I tried lots of them, from time to time I still try a new one but I end up going back to urxvt: stable, usable, decent unicode support, fast enough, less bling more unix.

Konsole, because it's a natural choice when using KDE. Oh, and being able to control it using keyboard shortcuts is great.

I must keep spacing out before I hit the reply button: I wanted to suggest this too.
Why XFCE Terminal: It's comes with XFCE (always keep a copy installed), and it's got plain text config file that I can copy between machines (not an Xresources file) whic saves my color scheme and font preferences.
URXVT or RVXT-Unicode are great, not because of their clever implementation of UTF-8 char sets ( I tend to only read English) but the tab support has the best key combination I've seen for tab management. Because everyone else comes up with crazy schemes (CTRL+SHIFT+?!) it gets a very close second vote, because who wants to crunch their hand up to switch and create tabs? If you're going to make it that hard, then I might as well just open a new window.

Just love Yakuake. It lets use always have a terminal by hand on any virtual desktop without the need to keep it open.

LilyTerm
No, really. I've been through xterm, aterm, rxvt, eterm and terminator. Stayed with lxterminal for a while, but I ended with LilyTerm. Pretty much fuckin' awesome terminal.
By the way, Terminology deserves to be added here.

I just took a look. It doesn't allow you to set the font or the bg/fg colour via command-line options, or, I assume, via X resources. The tab feature seems nice, but other than that I'm a bit confused about what is so nice about it. Care to share? Cheers. P.S. to everyone posting to this thread: if you take the time to state your choice, why not say what is good about your favourite terminal emulator? (I use urxvt because it has tabs, because it does UTF8, and because it is written by people who understand the benefits of X resources.)
