Termite is pretty good and bug-free in my experience.

Plug: I maintain a fork of termite which doesn't require Daniel's patched VTE3 fork; and guts most of the exotic vimmy features.

I really like VTE's behaviour; even if the performance is a bit worse than XTerm (though worlds ahead of what I've seen on OSX with iTerm2 and Terminal.app). I rely on using iBus input methods in the terminal on a daily basis, and VTE handles this wonderfully.

I've also gutted a lot of stuff from termite in my own fork (overaly, vi mode, clickable urls) and it definitely makes for a lovely minimalistic terminal. I'm thankful for termite being so simple (granted the lifting is done by a lib) that this is possible without much effort.

I just wish I could log the scrollback buffer so that I could open an actual editor on it, but I don't think libvte exposes anything to do this.

Hey, thanks for the tip on Termite. I've been using it since reading your comment and it's awesome. Cut and paste and URL opening both work flawlessly!
